Hi everyone. It's Chris here today, sharing a card made with one of the new October release stamps, Give Thanks.
Today I used Prismacolor pencils on kraft cardstock to create my colored image, and heat embossed in gold after coloring.
To create this card, I used my MISTI stamping tool. First I stamped the image onto my kraft cardstock panel with kraft ink. I left my stamp set up in my MISTI so I could restamp after coloring.
I used Prismacolor pencils to color within the kraft stamped lines, taking care to use a good variety of colors and intensity of color so that the contrast would show through after heat embossing.
I tried to create highlights with color since the size of the images would not lend terribly well to just variation of pressure.
Once I was happy with my coloring, I simply reinserted my card panel into the corner of my MISTI and stamped exactly over the kraft ink, using Versamark ink. I then added gold embossing powder and heated with my pre-heated heat gun. I love how the gold looks on the pumpkins! It really highlights this gorgeous image.
The panel was then trimmed using a scalloped die, and added to a charcoal brown card base.
This Give Thanks stamp as well as all of the new October release stamps are still 15% off through October 8th!
