New pencils

I've been playing around with new pencils - water color ones by Faber-Castell and ink pencils by Derwent.

I found a circle stencil and used that and my 9b graphite stick from Sennelier to make circles. What fun. The ink pencils are really good so I'll probably get a few more colors of those. I'm not sure I fixed the cards sufficiently so if you're a recipient of one, be mindful that you might end up with graphite on your hands.

I made a few ATCs alos, and with left-over bits, I made book marks. I'm using water color paper that I inherited, some of it is quite textured.

I'm hoping that these have no problem getting through the postal systems.

Aren't they happy looking? Like a fiesta!
