Greeting card with blue flowers and yellow butterflies on a green background. Text reads "hello friend." Bright and cheerful design.

Hello Lovelies! Another easy card from the Moments In Time release where I did a rainbow of coloring using the Back to School Embossing Folder. I think this simple card can be good for end of school year graduations or getting ready for returning to classes at the end of Summer.

Break out your alcohol markers and a heaping dose of patience for a little careful coloring of this embossed back to school card. I already colored another design from this release, but I'll confess that this linear patter was a little more challenging to stay in the lines, but definitely worth it!

TIPS FOR COLORING AN EMBOSSED DESIGN

TAKE YOUR TIME!
Lighter colors are more forgiving if you make mistakes. I certainly did!
Color all of the sections of the pencil that are the same color at the same time, e.g. all the erasers. You build confidence and skill through repetitive actions.
Don't get stressed over mistakes, keep going and don't try to correct with blender, it will only draw attention to it and you can cover with sentiment strips if possible.

Colorful pencils and flowers on a card with text reading "of you" and "AMAZING" on a bright, cheerful background. — Each row of pencils are a different color for full rainbow vibes.

Colorful pencil pattern with messages: "so proud of you," "YOU'RE AMAZING," "BIG HUGS" in bold text. Bright, cheerful mood. — Big fan of these bold sentiment strips!

Colorful pencil illustrations with erasers on textured paper. Prominent text reads "BIG" on black label. Bright, playful vibe. — Try your own selection of colors, rainbows are delightful, but so are other color combos!
