That's a good question. I don't have "regular" colored pencils. You certainly could give them a try. But if I was to guess - the watercolor pencil is a "softer" pencil, yet more vibrant color, that I think will give a much better result.
@dostamping Ok great!! Thank you for replying. :) I will do it tonight and see how it turns out! I'm SUPER excited to try this :D I will finally be able to put my prisma colored pencils to work! I have only used them twice since I bought them...a year ago! haha. Thanks for a great tut!
Hi! Great video!! I like how you were able to zoom in without shaking the camera a lot. I see a lot of that and I get dizzy watching. haha. Anyhow, I know you used SU whisper white ink, but do you know if this can be done with the marth stewart pigment ink pads? Thanks!
Great video Pam, thanks for sharing. The flowers turned out beautiful, LOVE your card. Is there a name for the rubber stamp you used or brand? Thanks...Patti
I agree, too many white dots and I think the image would look more refined if you were more careful with keeping the pencil on the white, even though it's black paper you can still see the pencil marks really well. Maybe going over it in black after you were done might help ;-)
Hi Patti - All of my videos are done using Stampin' Up! products. This particular video was done using the stamp set, Vintage Vogue, which is retired and no longer available from Stampin' Up!. You might want to check either eBay or Craigs List to see if you can find a retired set someone is selling. Hope this helps!
@mariahub Stampin' Up! carries an awesome one! It's called uni-ball Signo Gel Pen. The link to my Stampin' Up! online store is above in the video description. Thanks!
That's interesting. When you were up close it looked all sorts of blobby and I wasn't going to try it, but once you pulled out, it looked great. Close ups sometimes are not the coolest.
Do watercolor pencils crayons work better on this technique than regular pencil crayons? I need to press fairly heavily to go over the white ink and you seem to only be going lightly? Thank you
I just tried it with my tombow water based markers and it worked beautifully. It takes much less pressure to color over the white with the markers. Happy crafting!
Thank you for the video, yes, I have fibromyalgia and not alot of strength some days in my upper body so the markers will work well for me with this technique. If you know anyone else with this condition, please pass this on.
Ok, I'm confused. I'm new at this stuff but wonder why it's called black magic? I thought maybe it would be black paper with black glitter or black embossing powder to give it a tone on tone effect.
Beautiful technique, I can't wait to try it out, thanks!!
Great video...love the closeups. I liked it w/o the twist!
Thank you so much for this tip. I'm going to try now. On a Christmas even. So pretty. Happy Holidays!
+Gloria Sperring - Glad you like it Gloria! Happy Holidays to you as well :)

Good question. The SU white ink is a pigment ink. So I think any pigment ink would work. Have fun!
Thanks very much. Great video. Thanks for posting.

You didn't use any water with your watercolor pencils, why then not just use colored pencils? Curious. Louella
i have bought several whitel gel pens and have never had any luck with them. What brand of white gel pen did you use?. It looks so vibrant.
@mmwiz
I don't see why not. I would give it a try!
@TheSpantz
That stamp set is called Vintage Vogue by Stampin' Up!
@littledott1943
Pam - that was from the Groom Specialty DSP from Stampin' up! However, if just retired.
Great video Pam, thanks for sharing. The flowers turned out beautiful, LOVE your card. Is there a name for the rubber stamp you used or brand? Thanks...Patti
Awesome Idea I love it
That's a very pretty technique
I've GOT to know ~ what is the stamp you used and can I get it? I love it!
Can this be done with prismacolor pencils?
I don't like the white dots, but the image itself and the pink/green is georgeous ;)
I agree, too many white dots and I think the image would look more refined if you were more careful with keeping the pencil on the white, even though it's black paper you can still see the pencil marks really well. Maybe going over it in black after you were done might help ;-)
Did you do the black background of the card, the gold swirl background by yourself? What is it called?

@hovawart16
No - I didn't use any water
were do u get the water color pencils
did you use water with the watercolor pencils?
Hi, how are you today? I hope you're okay?
That's interesting. When you were up close it looked all sorts of blobby and I wasn't going to try it, but once you pulled out, it looked great. Close ups sometimes are not the coolest.
i've never seen watercolour pencils either on their website..maybe cos it's not available for the netherlands?
Stampin' Up! no longer carries the watercolor pencils. You might be able to find them in a local craft store.
I used Whisper White Craft ink. To order, you can find a link to my store in the video description of this page. Hope that helps!
awesome so pretty enjoyed the video tfs
I like the one that is black magic.
Do watercolor pencils crayons work better on this technique than regular pencil crayons? I need to press fairly heavily to go over the white ink and you seem to only be going lightly? Thank you
I'v never tried it with the crayons. You could give it a try to compare.
I just tried it with my tombow water based markers and it worked beautifully. It takes much less pressure to color over the white with the markers. Happy crafting!
Thanks for the feedback!

That's a good question Cathy. I'm assuming someone coined the term. Maybe it's the way the color pops off the black.
They can be found in my Stampin' Up! online store. Link is above in the video description. Thanks!
I'm sorry! I forgot to ask for your blog page so I can subscribe to your page.
