Coloring on Sahara Sand

This picture does not do this card justice. The white embossing detail doesn't show clearly, rest assured the embossing shows a nice clean intricate design. I had seen some cards where people colored a white embossed image with markers on Kraft card stock. The colors look very nice in contrast with the white line art. I decided to give it a try, I didn't want something as dark as Kraft, so I used Sahara Sand.

I used the flower from the Flower Shop stamp set, and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I simply stamped the flower multiple times on the Sahara Sand with Versamark ink and heat embossed white embossing powder. I colored in the images with Coastal Cabana and Calypso Coral. I repeated this color scheme on the sentiment, it is stamped in Calypso Coral and matted with Coastal Cabana.

Ten Minute Card - Hope

This card is a combination of inspiration from multiple cards I've seen in various places like the demonstrator website and on Pinterest. I'm using one of my favorite stamp sets again - Blooming with Kindness. As I look at it now, the one thing I would change is adding a Coastal Cabana mat around the embossed panel, and then mounting it on a white card base.

Instructions

• Make card base out of Coastal Cabana card stock
• Cut a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Whisper White card stock
• Emboss the Whisper White panel with the Framed Tulips Embossing folder, trim to the scallop design using trimmer
• Cut a 3 1/8" x 4 3/8" piece of Coastal Cabana card stock to use as a mat inside the embossed design
• Cut a 2 7/8 x 4 1/8" piece of Whisper White card stock to stamp on
• Using the En Francais background stamp, ink with Coastal Cabana ink - Stamp off onto a scrap piece of paper, then stamp onto the white card stock
• Ink the Bloom from the Blooming with Kindness stamp set, stamp on the upper right corner of the card stock
• Ink the Hope sentiment with Coastal Cabana ink and stamp in the lower left corner
• Adhere stamped panel onto the Coastal Cabana mat
• Adhere mat inside the embossed panel design
• Adhere embossed panel to the card base
