Pink Balloon

Hello and happy Thursday! I am looking forward to the weekend. We are heading to the coast the spend the weekend with my sister and her family. Of course, we always stamp when we get together and it is so nice to have someone to chat with when I stamp.

Today I played with a Unity set called Love in the Air. Here are a few details...

I colored the image with Copic markers, RV21, RV23, RV25, R24 and the colorless blender. Sorry, I didn't make note of the colors I used on the basket.

After coloring the image, I went over it with my Versa Mark pen and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I also included, in the picture, the container I use for my clear embossing powder that I talked about in yesterday's post.

After embossing, I sponged the background with So Saffron, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose and Ruby Red. Then I stamped some swirls around the edges with a stamp from Growing in Unity.

I've had a few questions from readers that I wanted to answer...

One lady asked about the card from this post. She wanted to know how I cut the circle so even to leave the black border around it. It's hard to see in the photo, but the black circle is actually another layer that sits over the background. I cut the top circle with a circle nestabilities die from Spellbinders and then cut another circle, one size larger from black cardstock.

Someone else asked about the top card from this post. She wanted to know how I embossed the image after coloring. Sorry, I tend to leave out the details sometimes. On that card, after coloring, I used a Versa Mark pen (see picture above) to apply the ink to just the image, then embossed.

Sorry to the ladies that posted these. I couldn't answer you directly because you didn't have an email attached to your blogger account.

Have any of you seen the "cbox" gadgets that are showing up on a lot of blogs? Melanie has one on her blog, on the right side and down just a bit. They allow readers to quickly post a question and then the blogger can post an answer right there. If there is interest from my readers, I would be happy to add one to my blog. Just let me know if you would like me to add it.

Thanks for letting me ramble. I hope you all have a great day!
