Colored Pencils on Dark Cardstock

Hi everybody! I am here with a card I made just for fun. I don't know if you have seen the amazing coloring from Stephanie Klauck using colored pencils on colored cardstock. She shared stunning images on Instagram and I was itching to try this technique with some of my stamps. Last night I enjoyed creating this card:

Loved playing with this cute MFT Elf! The sentiment says something like: "Yikes! Christmas already/again". I think I am addicted now. Hopefully I will be able to lay down my colored pencils soon :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Sparkle & Shine Challenge #19

Hey everyone! Here comes a second post for today.

*For the Winnie & Walter Rerun, please go here. *

The new Sparkle & Shine Challenge is also up today! This is the inspiration photo for this challenge:

I loved the various stars/snowflakes on the grey wall and wanted to use this on my card:

I stamped and heat-embossed the snowflakes and the sentiment onto my grey panel. It is impossible to see (and I tried all angles when taking the photo), but I first embossed with white embossing powder and afterwards with clear, sparkling embossing powder. So the snowflakes have a very realistic shimmer on them. Then I adhered the panel to the card base and finished everything off with clear sequins and the clear drops.

Please join us at Sparkle & Shine for your chance to win a gift card to Pretty Pink Posh!

Thanks for visiting!
