The technique of stamping in VersaMark on Kraft CS, embossing with detailed white embossing powder and then coloring with Copics has become a favorite of mine. It is fairly quick and easy and I really do like the look of copic inks on kraft CS. So for my thank you card, I started by stamping my image on kraft, embossing and coloring with Copics. I thought the white edges were too bright for the fall colors, so I colored over the edges with the various copic markers. The top half of the card was dry embossed with the CB pumpkin folder and then the sentiment was stamped, die cut and added to the top left hand corner. Some brown ribbon, a leaf button and baker's twine finish the look.
Hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure to check out this week's challenge to have a moon on your card. You still have time to play along and win some awesome DRS Designs' stamps!
Next I have a card I created for this week's Merry Monday Challenge. You can see details about this challenge at Lesley's blog. We were to use a bird on our card. I used my SU 2 step bird punch to create the bird. I also used today's Technique Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers to make my own stencil to create a background. I used a small snowflake punch to create the stencil and then stamped the snowflakes in Colorbox White ink on the Bashful Blue CS. Some MS punched pine branches were added to give the little red bird a place to rest. The sentiment was stamped in Real Red on Bashful Blue CS, punched with a tag punch and layered on Real Red CS. It's attached with some red baker's twine. Hope you like it.
Until next time,
