Guest DT for Kleuren met Potloden using a sponsored image 25 April 2026

 Welcome to Becca's Quest for Creativity, a personal blog. 

who: I'm Becca S, a 60+ artisan blogger that generally has an artsy-craftsy style as I mish-mesh old and new products in my vast stash! Occasionally I color images with pencils instead of markers such as this sponsored image of Polkadoodles for Kleuren met Potloden. 

what: colored pencils used for the sponsored image focal for this Christmas card

where: this is a KMP Guest DT invite honor announced in their March 10th post which I accepted.

when: KMP uses Guest DTs projects for their reminder post which is April 25, 2026. 

how:

1. image: Theo Penguin Pile of Gifts by Polkadoodle; sponsor for KMP

2. left-sided folded white CS base = Georgia Pacific

3. bright blue CS panel cut to 5" x 6.5" = Astrobrights/Neenah

4. skiers patterned paper cut to 4" x 6" = Snow Pine Lodge paper pad by Simple Stories

5. 2 snowflake stickers & text sticker = Snow Pine Lodge sticker book by Simple Stories

6. crystal iridescent gems = Crafter's Square

7. navy blue dual-tip marker for outlining = Art Skills

8. all paper/CS edges were inked with Fish Tank (blue) = mini stamp pad by Lawn Fawn

9. colored pencils = Marvy Uchida (black, red, two green tones, blue, golden honey brown, and a smidge of orange)

10. blue ink pen = Paper Mate's Ink Joy (used to highlight text strip sticker and snowflakes)

why: I compete at least 1-3 times per session that KMP is open. You can use any brand of colored pencils for the images you use. Most of my submissions have been my MMMJP geometric designs that is a personal series that I do. This is my 2nd time to be featured as a Guest Design Team honoree.
