The final card in this series is my favorite. It uses the Soft Pastel Assortment to color in the image which was heat embossed with Black Embossing Powder on Watercolor Paper. To use the Pastels, the edge of the Take a Pick Tool spatula end worked well to scrap off some of the pastel onto a clear block. Then a Water Painter was used to pick up the color.

I couldn’t get a nice brown color for the road so I add some Early Espresso color with a watercolor pencil to get a color that I liked.

The Crumb Cake matte is embossed with the Gingham Embossing Folder and the greeting, from the Campology stamp set, is die cut with one of the Beautiful Shapes Dies. A piece of Black & White Gingham ribbon is folded behind the greeting which is popped up with dimensionals. Three gems complete the card.
