Humphrey on Kraft

The weather is changing and the days are getting shorter; I am loving the cooler days.
Cold weather=more snuggle time, scarves, warm blankets and more coffee!

 I am so super excited to share today's project that I have made for Crafter's Companion because seriously I had a blast creating it and it is something that I had in mind for quite some time now. 

I am sharing a one layer card embossed and colored on kraft. So here it is...

CAUTION: Picture heavy post:0)

 Here is a closer look at the image Hello Rudolph from the Humphrey Collection.

 Here you can see a little bit better the embossing and what a pretty texture it gives this card. This is the 6x6 Regal Frame.

 Here is a little tip for when coloring on kraft. Jot down color on a scrap piece  of your kraft to get a good idea of how your colors will show up. 

Here are a few things that I have noticed:

-Coloring on kraft is more forgiving; hence easier to blend and harder to see mistakes= more fun!

-Bright colors look best

- Color will bleed faster, so be sure to not put too much color down

-As the alcohol evaporates(ink dries) the colors will start to look brighter. It is like magic seeing those colors show through!

I got my inspiration for coloring this image from the packaging:0)
