MFT Card Design Superstar Contest - Coloring Virtuoso

For this card, I played to my strengths and used Prismacolor Colored Pencils on kraft card stock. I really love the smooth blends I can get with the beautiful pop of color. I decided to have a little fun with the tree -- it almost looks tie dyed!

First I stamped and embossed the images to keep my lines nice and crisp black. I used two shades, a dark and a light, to color each of the images, minus the tree and leaves, which have three or four. After all my coloring was done, I cut down my colored panel and matted it with a dark red card stock, which I popped up with foam tape and adhered to my standard sized kraft card base. I finished it off with a simple sentiment that didn't distract from the colored images.
