December My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #5 + Giveaway
Jessica Frost-Ballas
Hello and welcome back to the countdown to the release of the December My Monthly Hero kit! Release day is Monday, December 2 at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Now let's join Jess for another beautiful peek!
Good morning! Jess here with a cheery card using the new kit!
I love that big intricate image and decided it would be perfect for a little colored pencil work! I started by stamping the image onto Hero Hues Sand Cardstock using my MISTI and the light Soft Vanilla Shadow Ink. I left the stamp on the lid of my MISTI while I colored the image with Polychromos colored pencils. I love all the details of this stamp from the little flowers to the waves and butterflies!! It was a lot of fun to color everything!
Then, because I'm not necessarily the tidiest pencil colorer, I placed the panel back inside my MISTI, stamped the image and sentiment with Clear Embossing and Watermark Ink and heat-embossed it with Detail Black Embossing Powder. This really helps the image pop! Since there's so much going on in the stamp I left it simple and let the colors pop!
Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a fantastic day!

I love this card in colored pencils. Coloring on a kind of kraft tone paper really makes the image pop. I have yet to color on colored card stock. I really need to do that because I always love the end results.
Beautiful card & gorgeous colors!
You are so talented! Beautiful card.
beautiful! I love the picture and colors on this
Just beautiful. I would love to win a kit.
