This is the card I prepared and shared at the SCS Arlington Swap on Saturday.
For the pencil over technique, the stampers used prismacolor pencils to color the dried flower print which had been prestamped in Whisper White Craft Ink. Itty Bitty Backgrounds was used to stamp the Pretty in Pink layer and the background leaves from Petal Prints were stamped with Close to Cocoa on the Chocolate Chip card front.

Your card is so pretty. It's first time I've ever done this technique or used the pencils! Can't wait to do it again.

I thought this was an absolutely beautiful card. Thanks for sharing the technique. I had fun coloring the flowers and leaving some of the white showing. Very elegant. I will definitely be doing this technique again.
