Beautiful cards, Yana! Love the sentiment treatment & you make me want those pencils!
Such beautiful cards, Yana. You have made coloring on kraft look so pretty :)
Beautiful cards! Love the coloring on Kraft paper. I will be trying this. Thanks for sharing!
White on kraft with the pop of red….that’s a real WOW!
Beautiful, Yana! I can’t believe that what started out as a “save” turned into a fabulous accent on the card. It was the first thing I noticed on the blog post – eye catching and original as a technique.
Wow, really pretty. I’ve not used Kraft cardstock much in the past but this technique makes me want to a try it.
Lovely! I really like how the colour pops but doesn’t overwhelm the rest of the embossed card.
These cards are gorgeous!
Beautiful colourful card. Hugz
Beautiful cards, great video!
Love the kraft and white combo – then adding those pops of red, just gorgeous! Lots of goodness in this last SSS release! Thank you for sharing.
Wow, this is gorgeous! I like the idea with vellum too. It looks awesome on the card. xx
Thanks so much for organizing a blog hop. Appreciate the inspirational push at the beginning of Nov.
Beautiful cards! Love the kraft and white combo but adding that touch of red really makes the design pop. Thanks for the coloring tips in the video. I never thought about using my Inktense pencils on kraft but will definitely be giving them a try.
Gorgeous–love the look of white ink on kraft–so pretty!
WOW these cards are beautiful!!!! Yana always does great videos too:)
These are beautiful.
Love the cards!
Beautiful cards. Love this stamp set. Love the two colouring options.
Very pretty. At first I didn’t think I’d like it not being fully colored, but I found after watching that I really did like it. Thanks for sharing.
Stunning card! Thank you for sharing!
I love the look of coloring on kraft. Beautiful cards. I just adore the new Believe stamp set. It’s on my wish list.
so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing
Elegant cards!
Really like this combo of white and red on the kraft, and the 2 tones of embossing on the sentiment is very striking.
White ink on Kraft paper has always been a favorite of mine. I’ve only colored the design with colored pencils because I wasn’t sure how the paper would take water. I do have a set of Inktense pencils and will definitely try this technique, keeping your beautiful cards and suggestions in mind.
Beautiful cards. Very interesting video.
hugs,

Gorgeous cards – thank you so much!! I love craft/white/red so these really appeal to me!!!
Love the card…I adore colouring on Kraft.
Wow, both these cards are beautiful. Love the reds.
Fabulous cards!! I especially like the one done with the watercolour pencil. And such a fun way to do the sentiment too! Lovely!
Thanks for taking the time to create the video. I learned so much!
Really pretty cards! I’m going to have to try the red and white on kraft!
Pretty card!
These are beautiful!
BEAUTIFUL JOB, YANA!!! I LOOOOVE the use of the Kraft Card Stock for Christmas! ;)
These are beautiful! Thanks for the video.
Beautiful cards! I love kraft on Christmas cards, and the dash of red looks so good on these.
Lovely coloring. I never knew that coloring on kraft looks so vibrant.
Love the idea of coloring on kraft cardstock. I have Inktense pencils but don’t pull them out very often, but I think I need to start doing that. I have seen several videos lately using them and I keep thinking I need to use them again, I kinda miss them. Love both cards and I love how you did the sentiments. Very clever!!
Oh YES! This is absolutely gorgeous! Wow!
I love the look colouring on craft gives you. Thanks for sharing your hints and tips Yana, I might drag out my water colour pencils again, but I’ll need to get one of those fine detailer water colour brushes first….I have a very old water colour pen with a thick tip….who knew they came with fime tip? Not me that’s for sure!. Have a lovely day and thanks for sharing once again. Cheers Donna Z :)
Absolutely stunning!
Gorgeous card, such a beautiful design!!
These are beautiful cards!! I keep forgetting about kraft paper & will have to play with some soon!!
Such gorgeous cards, Yana! Love the kraft background so much.
Very colorful card, even on kraft background. Always like your cards!
Beautiful!!!!! I NEED these 2 stamp sets!!!
Love the red on kraft! Great cards.
Yana, these cards are simply stunning…I love the simple less is more colour – the red and white on kraft works fabulously and then mounted on your tartan frame…wow a real eye catcher
