Welcome back for day two of the NND May reveal! Today we are sharing projects made with the new Adventure Awaits stamp set. Although I didn't use them in today's project, there are two companion dies as well - please note these are not matching dies, but they go with the theme!
I couldn't wait to use the awesome stag from this set, so I had to use it, front & center on my card! My vision was a gold stag with color within the embossing. To achieve this, I had to get creative, since it's pretty difficult to get a colored pencil within those tiny lines once the embossing is done! I used my MISTI to set up my card front and then stamped in BLACK on the black cardstock. It was a challenge to see the stamping, but I was able to see it just enough, and I colored in all the cool patterns with my Prismacolor pencils. Once I was finished, I was able to put my card base back into the MISTI and re-stamp directly over top, this time using Versamark ink. I heat embossed with gold EP, and voila! perfectly colored patterns!
Hope you've enjoyed my card today! We still have two more days of reveals, so stop back tomorrow!
