-The out of the box image using Nestabilities: a pictorial can be viewed on my blog in this link if you need photos and IÂ’ll explain how I achieved the technique for those that donÂ’t wish to leave SCS for directions: Lie the Nestabilities die cut side up over the image and mark with a pencil on each side of the image that will be out of the box (youÂ’re marking on the inside of the die cut) and also make a couple small marks on the top or bottom for easy die cut line up. Cut the image slightly further than the mark to allow for the thickness of the metal. Flip the die over and slide it under the portion which was just cut and secure with repositional tape if needed (I use the blue painters tape). Run through the machine to cut then emboss and remove the die cut, erase the pencil marks and itÂ’s ready to color. I color after cutting just in case I make a mistake.
-Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps were used to color the pumpkin image using the Gamsol technique. Baby oil replaces the Gamsol/mineral spirits.
-The background was created with alcohol inks using the polished stone technique on glossy white cardstock. Gold ink and the blending solution were added to the entire panel then an application of yellow to brighten it up.
-The leaf image was stamped with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with gold powder.
-Cuttlebug and the Tiny Mosaic folder were used to emboss the rust border and rather than emboss the entire panel the folder was rolled into the machine about 3/8” and backed out for each edge.
-Distress Ink - Vintage Photo and Tea Dye were applied to the rust panels.

You make it look so easy using the baby oil. I tried it and couldn't get the colors to move very well. Your samples are always so inspirational! Thanks!
