Prismacolor Pencils

So I've had my prismacolor pencils for a while now and a colorless blender pencil but didn't really know what to do with them. Now after watching some youtube videos and tutorials I think I got the hang of it so today I went to Michael's and bought the Mona Liza Odorless Paint Thinner but after reading the label warnings I got scared and decided not to use it. I then remembered someone said they used baby oil so I tried to find some around the house with no such luck...while looking for the baby oil I found this product called Blue Goo skin softener that I had bought a year ago at wal-mart and never used it...and wondered if it would do the trick and it sure did. Here are some images that I used with the Blue Goo and the prismacolor pencils. The only one used with Odorless Paint Thinner is the yellow present at the top right corner. I think you could probably use vaseline also. I didn't really use that much just barely dipped the corner of the blending stump.

This second picture is the result of my colorless blender and prismacolor pencils.

Paintbrush bday card

DragonArtz has amazing vector files and I fell in love w/ one of them. My dad is a painter/carpenter and I thought this paintbrush would be perfect for his birthday card. I love how it turned out, I couldn't really cut out all the small pieces but I still love it. Go check out the WEBSITE!!!.

So I downloaded some dingbat fonts but found that when opened them in inkscape they were very hard to use, lots of bumps and dots everywhere. There was this one image that I thought was very cute but no matter what I did to it...it still looked weird to me so I gave up and made my own version from scratch. Download here

Don't forget the dingbats!

Dingbats are fonts for your computer but instead of letters you get pictures. There are a lot of free dingbat fonts out there that you can use with your Cricut and SCAL. You simply download the font you want, install it into your computer and it should show up on scal the next time you use it. One site I love to go to is Dafont.com another one is Abstractfonts.com

They have various fonts including

Christmas


Valentine

Animals/Bugs



Comics



Cartoons




Flourishes


The list goes on. Some dingbats you can just cut right away but with others you may have to tweak if they have layers. (Inkscape is great for this)

[I'm trying to get a camera...so when I do I'll be able to post tutorial videos for you]
