It is a lovely card but I can see you don't like the texture with the pencils, I must admit I prefer the smooth look

Such a cute image Coops..I tried colouring on linen card and was a bit easier using the oil to blend...but still no where near as good as a smoother card..but yours has come out a lot better than mine did...love the embossing and design.
luv CHRISSYxx
Oh so cute!! Love a good Noah's Ark image. You are right hun, pencils don't like texture, but they don't like it too smooth either! A blending solution will soon sort you out for these moments. Hugs xx
How adorabile !!
Did you see you are the may winner at LOves Rubberstamps sunday hop?
Congratulations!

Loving the WoW, Coops and I like the effect of the pencils on the linen paper; it really brings out the texture!
Thank you for joining us at both the Cutie Pie and Chocolate, Coffee and Cards Challenges! xx
Not quite sure what you're looking at hunnie, but I love this, I think the texture give the animals a fluffy look!
Enjoy your day off

Hey Nic.
This is one of my favourite Woodware Images, I use it alot for a baby card when my Daughter's works friends ask.
I know what you mean about the effect you have ended with but actually I rather like it and the linen effect looks lovely.

Just gorgeous Nic, gorgeous image and design. Marlene
Well it looks good to me Nic! What a sweet stamp too and love the WOW. Susan x
Hiya Nic, yep pencils do prefer slightly smoother surfaces....try markers or paint on a heavily embossed surface. Ooh and if you are game to try something different have a go with markers on Stamping Linen (Joy Crafts)
I think your card is great & kudos to you for trying something new!
Hugs

A fab image for your wonderful card I've been using a linen textured card lately with Copic markers and I like the different look it gives.
Hugs

Great card and love the image used...design is stunning. I find it hard to use my markers on linen card..x
I also have a new candy posted on the top of my page...Memories to Keep
Fabulous card, I love it. Matbe it's the particular pencils as my Caran D'Ache water colour pencils go well on linen card :o)

I like the look - gives it a canvas look and still remains soft. Very sweet card Nic. Hugz!
Back with my DT head on hun...
Just love it, I think the texture adds to the character of the animals
Thank you for sharing with us at My Time to Craft this fortnight & Natalie & Amy's this month, good luck!
Hugs Shell xx
I like your card and you did a great job in coloring. I found a paper with more "tooth" to it and then use the gamsol for blending and it works like a charm. Not sure if you got a chance to get that "liquid stuff"! Hugs
This is just fabulous Nic.
A super baby card too! Jx
Its lovely nic the texture is fabulous, its different
Have a good'en
Crafty hugs Bridget :) x
