[@jenniferwong4530]

Exellent video! Like most people righr now, I'm at home 'social distancing', and finally have some free time to create. Sad reason, but nice to make the best of it!

[@cyndiagilbert6216]

Love my prismacolors!

[@pesto12601]

Meh.. try Polychromos.. you'll never go back!

[@cyndiagilbert6216]

pesto12601 are they expensive?

[@rosali_ilovestamping]

Great timing with this video, I am just looking into colored pencils! :) Which paper do you recommend?

[@pesto12601]

See my other response above.... bristol or vellum.. do a google search and answer your own questions instantly... Enjoy!

[@rosali_ilovestamping]

pesto12601 I'd love to know which one Sheryl used.

[@pesto12601]

They are interchangeable... buy a sheet of each and try them out... cheap and you'll figure out what you like best. If she wants to respond and tell you which... I suppose she will and then you'll know for sure.

[@rosali_ilovestamping]

Simon Says Stamp Thanks!

[@valkrush6777]

Great tutorial!! Thanks :)

[@sharonnellis3503]

Looks great Question do you ever use zest it to blend colours for a smoother finish ? If you do how do you find it as I love it. Thanks for a great tutorial

[@AshlynsCardShop]

TFS! Your colouring is beautiful. Do you have a video on pencil care? I have trouble with my pencil leads breaking.

[@pesto12601]

Prismacolors are known to break.. especially the 2nd and 3rd versions from Mexico.... either buy the older berol branded ones from ebay or try dick blicks or marco renoirs... for the best.. go with polychromos... you get what you pay for!

[@mercyitsme]

What ink pad have you used to stamp the image with?

[@stellamatutina9452]

😍😍😍😘 beauty

[@someassemblyrequired22]

What kind of paper to use, Shari?

[@poncialarcon9376]

What type of paper do you use when coloring with color pencils?

[@puppalapadma9708]

Super

[@Kindlelover88]

What kind of paper are you using? Is it better for colored pencils to use watercolor paper?

[@pesto12601]

no.. unless you use watercolor pencils... try bristol or vellum based smooth paper... good thickness .. you'll be happy you did.

[@mawmawvee]

Do you ever use Gamsol to blend out the pencil coloring? It's like odorless turpentine.

[@secrets86]

what sharpener are you using?

[@naticristellavi8236]

Angie Lai Electric sharpeners work best.

[@scrappydean]

Angie Lai Many crafters use a manual sharpener instead of an electric one to prevent the pencil tips from breaking. You can control the pressure of the sharpener better if it is manual. Some pencil brands come with a sharpener.

[@mawmawvee]

What kind of sharpener do you use to sharpen these pencils? I have a hard time sharpening Prismacolor colored pencils. The "lead" tends to break a lot.

[@ninamckinley]

will SSS restock this stamp set??

[@pesto12601]

Ummm.. www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Simon-Says-Clear-Stamps-SECRET-GARDEN-SSS101629-STAMPtember-SSS101629

[@ninamckinley]

pesto12601 yah got my back in stock email yesterday and already ordered it. wish granted I guess.

[@pesto12601]

Nina McKinley You bet.. of course - there are free version on the internet (linked above) that are similar and are great for printing on high quality paper for practice... personally - I love finding free digital stamps instead of spending so much money on these.... they can be easily resized and used over and over again simply. Enjoy!

[@raine5503]

What is the name of the stamp set?

[@leenewton5872]

Prismacolor.

[@raine5503]

Lee Newton Sorry I am looking for the name of the stamp set not the pencils.

[@shekatb]

The set is called Secret Garden by Simon Says Stamp.

[@pesto12601]
