Thanks card

Hi all!

Stopping in to share a simple thank you card today, or 'Thanks' in this case.
I really love the look of color on black cards, so that's what I decided to do for this card.

I heat embossed the background using the classic fabric design stamp by hero arts with clear embossing powder. Sadly it doesn't photograph  well but you can still see subtly hopefully. The die is the Big Thanks die by SSS, which I die cut with white card stock using my cuddle-bug and then just colored with a bunch of different Copic colors. I used my colorless blender pen in between each color to help the colors blend better.
I added some colorful sequins from Pretty Pink Posh for the finishing touch.




A simple card but I love the look of it. 
Also, you may noticed I gave my blog a little face lift I also finally got Instagram, I'm kinda late on this but better then never. Click below to follow me!!:)

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
Enjoy the rest of your week!:)

    Hi Shannon not sure why but i cant see your blog post :( , just the products in the inlinkz. The pencils i used are Derwent coloursoft pencils and they are good quality pencils not water colour or anything like that. They are similar to prisma color pencils but i find they are much easier to use. Hope that helps.

      Hi Kate!! Thanks so much for telling me about my post! It wasn't just you, it seemed to disappear as soon as my blog loaded. I think i fixed it:) but thank you, thank you!!
      & yes that helps with the pencils. Thank you! I'm not so good with the water colored pencils are prefer coloring with normal colored pencils but not loving the ones I have so I will look into those ones!
