I've been busy making cards and doing a bit of sewing. Most of the cards are for future design team posts so they'll be posted later on.
Tonight I have a card for Less is More, CAS on Friday and Addicted to Stamps and More.
I pulled out PTI's Botanical Blocks IV, and decided to color the poinsettia with pencils on darker cardstock. I stamped it with versa-mark, colored it in and over-stamped it again with versa-mark for heat embossing. Funny thing...colored pencils have wax in them so this was not a good idea. The color melted into the card stock when I heat embossed the image. So I just recolored it. Lesson learned.
I was just looking at that stamp the other day. Love how you colored it, Cat!
ReplyDeleteAn unusual color choice, but I like that very much !! Gundi
ReplyDeleteWho knew. I guess i know pencils are wax, but I wouldn’t have thought it would melt so much you would need to redo it. It is pretty!
ReplyDeleteso pretty, Cat - the black on the blue cardstock is a lovely effect.
ReplyDeleteLovely card. Thanks fro playing with us at Less Is More.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out really well even with the melted colouring. I shall have to remember that. love the blue background xx
ReplyDeleteElegant! Good info about the color pencils. I bet that melt added some great texture.
ReplyDeleteGreat save by re-coloring your Poinsettia's Cat! I love the bold red on a dark background...so elegant!
