Coloring Kraft and Vellum // Altenew

Today I have a set of cards and a video that I made quickly the night before I left for my vacation.

Here's a video on how I made the pair...

I had so much fun finally playing with Altenew's Botanical Garden stamp set! Such a gorgeous set, that I had to play coloring them on kraft and vellum.

For the cards, I embossed the flowers using some pretty copper embossing powder on kraft. I then colored them in with some Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens (I know, it's a mouthful!) - very simply coloring, but these pens work like butter.

I then did the same for the vellum flowers, and cut them out. I hand cut them out, but apparently there are coordinating dies - on my wish list now! ;)

Same card, different orientation! For the sentiment, I wanted the sentiment to be glossy, but I wanted the navy color, so I inked up the sentiment with Versamark first, then with navy ink from Studio Calico. With the stickiness, I was able to emboss the sentiment with clear powder to get that glossy, yet colored, look.

I was inspired by the current Altenew From Places Abroad challenge...

Thanks so much for stopping in and God bless!
