GIve Thanks: Using MISTI to Heat Emboss over your Prismacolor Pencil colored images

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.

Give Thanks

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!

TOTW - Embossed Color Pencils

Hi Junkies, Tricia here with this weeks "Try that Technique".  I loved seeing your creations from last week, they were all fantastic and I am so happy so many of you joined along.

This is such a cool technique and so easy to do.  I did this card up for my cousins' wedding celebration this weekend.  I love this stamp from I Brake For Stamps, I use it for all kinds of celebrations.  I colored it up with my prismacolor pencils.  The sentiment is one from Gina K Designs.

It's hard to see the embossing in this picture so I took this one to show you.  It adds a new level of interest to your card.

I would love to see what you come up with.  Hope you have a crafty week!
