With Love & Prayers - Colored Pencils on Black Cardstock

Hello and welcome!

I tried a new technique today, coloring with colored pencils on black card stock.

I have seen several cardmakers use this technique and it always looked so gorgeous so I decided to give it a try.  I think it is a gorgeous way to create a very dramatic card!

Here's a couple of closer looks at my card:

I first stamped the Pinkfresh Studio Floral Cluster stamp on black card stock with Delicata "Celestial Copper " pigment ink, see below:

Next I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and then re-stamped the image with Versamark embossing ink and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder.  I trimmed the edges down a little and then added a thin white strip of cardstock underneath a heat embossed sentiment strip of vellum.

The sentiment is from Gina K Designs Scripty Sayings 1 stamp set.

Lastly I added gems (turned upside down) in the flower centers.

Here's one last look at my card:
