Topic: Stamping
When I was making the embossed card to enter in the fair I stamped and embossed a second copy of the cardinal image in case I messed up one. Since I didn't mess it up I set the second one aside to color up later - and later finally came!
I used watercolor markers to do the coloring - three reds, three greens, and gold for the beaks. Then I cut it out with the craft knife leaving a white border all around. This was adhered over a ColorMe tag which was sprayed with a shimmery color spray. I used foam tape for this mounting. For backgrounds I selected a green folded card base and some printed cardstock in a flourish and a woodgrain.
At the end I decided it needed a finishing touch so I added rub-on corners to two sides.
