This is for Cards for a Cause/SC259 here at splitcoaststampers.
I heat embossed the stamped image with an embossing ink pad and black embossing powder. I use embossing powder because I like the shine it has. It looks more polished. I also like it because the COPIC Markers won't get the black ink pad if I had used one. After coloring it in with the markers I cut it out with the Label 8 Spellbinder die cut. I couldn't help myself so I took my Walnut Ink Distress Ink and my ink applicator tool and ran it on the edges. I almost forgot...when cutting the die-cut I stenciled with Old Paper distress ink.
I cut the papers (background + rectangles) out with the Cricut. I matted the rectangles with lilac paper. I added a sentiment "Best Wishes" and a flower that I inked with Distress Ink as well. I put a pearl in the center.
