Tone on Tone Stenciling | Ink on 3

Before making this card, I made another one because I wanted to add all three of the squirrels from the Squirreling Around stamp set but I’m not sure about it. For this card, I tried a bit of restraint and just went with two. I really wanted the focus on them, so I did some tone on tone stenciling at the bottom of the card to let them shine.

Most of the time my sentiments are the last thing on my cards — but here, I stamped everything all at once to make sure that I have it placed properly. It helps set up where I want to stencil my partial background for a one layered card.

Glittery Background | Pretty Pink Posh

It’s fall and everything is usually very muted BUT I couldn’t help but add some glitter with a subtle background for this card. I also love the pops of color of the traditional pumpkins but had to sprinkle in some green for pops of color.

Silver Pigment | Honey Bee Stamps

I don’t use pigment ink often because I prefer dye ink for their quick drying properties but in Honey Bee Stamps’ new release — they have both gold and silver pigment ink! It’s perfect for the holiday cards that I’ll be making and I tested it out with this Holly Jolly background stamp — it works SO well! I was a bit lazy though so I did add clear embossing ink right on top to heat emboss so I could trap the color.

Coloring Hot Foil | Erin Lee Creative

The elegance of hot foil is great but I love to add a bit of color to it as well. I used copic markers to color this up with a fall palette and it just goes so well with the hot foiled gold accents.

Hiding Die Cut Outlines | Trinity Stamps

This is one of my favorite hot foil dies for the holiday season and beyond because I think it’ll be pretty versatile. I thought it would be the star of the show, but honestly, I think the Polar Party image stole the spotlight. I no line colored it up with copic markers and die cut it out with the coordinating die because there was no way I would fussy cut this out. I don’t always love that outline around a die cut, so I just used my go to trick to hide it!

Recreating an Old Card | My Favorite Things Stamp

I rarely recreate a card but was asked to do this as a favor — She was lucky it’s one of my favorite cards I’ve made but I did change it up because I was short on time. I stamped in black ink because no line coloring does take a bit more time to do. I still love this card so much!

Rainbow Watercoloring | Altenew

My favorite “cheat” with watercoloring is heat embossing an image. Watercolors are finnicky and if you paint too closely to something that isn’t dry, the colors will mix and bloom into each other. The raised edges from the heat embossing contains your colors so it doesn’t get messy. Also, underpainting is one of my favorite ways to watercolor because it’s full of color!

Glittery Watercolors | Trinity Stamps

Have you tried glittery watercolors? If you haven’t, maybe this card might make you! It’s so freaking pretty and the best part is actually right after you put down the color and right before it dries because the color and glitter moves around with the water — also, it was the PERFECT medium for this gem filled, unique holiday card.
