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.

Note the position of the ink blended colors, with the pop of yellow on the bottom right.

Die-cut the ink-blended panel and white cardstock using the Happy Cover Die.

White paper with a sketched banner design rests on a craft tacky mat on top of a grid-patterned surface. Sunlight casts a shadow, creating a calm mood.

Stamp the banner from the Banner Greetings set on white cardstock and place on a craft tacky mat and complete the ink-blended stenciled gradient.
