COLORED PENCILS

For the last few months I have been playing around with colored pencils.  I purchased a few digi-stamps.  Then I went through a collection of stamps that I haven't used for years.  My coloring was ok, but kind of streaky.  The Lucianna at http://dilsaverdesigns.blogspot.com/  did a fabulously detailed and informative set of 4 video tutorials on color pencils.  She also provided a sketch, called "Sara"  My sister, who passed away 8 years ago from the flesh-eating bacteria, was called Sara.  So this was extra special for me.  The technique that Lucianna explains, uses baby oil or another kind of artists oil.  When I had finished coloring the image, I decided to color the sentiment.  It looked uneven.  My daughter had taken my baby oil to the pool.(I know that is a terrible way to tan, I have lectured her many times)  So impatient me thought "Oh well its only a little area I'll try Olive Oil)  It worked fine but  my card smelled.  Then I realized I use Garlic Olive Oil.  Any way I hope you enjoy the card.
