CARD DETAILS

What you probably can’t see on the photo of the card above, are the tiny black jewels I added to the negative part of the background. I enjoy using this trick lately, adding jewels to the backgrounds of my cards to diversify them (see another example/idea HERE). They provide quite a wow to my cards and also add a nice tactile experience to the project.

I made this card by Gold heat embossing the Spring Flowers Background stamp on Neenah 80lb cardstock. Next, I used my Copic markers and colored the flowers and the background.

If you are afraid to color with Copic markers over heat embossing, there’s is a workaround I share. You’ll need a MISTI stamping tool for that. See the workaround HERE.

I used the following marker colors: C9, E00, E02, R20, RV10, RV11, R83, Y08, Y15, Y17, YG01, YG03, YG17. Once my coloring was done I adhered the panel onto the A2 white card base.

Next, I added a sentiment using Simon’s pre-printed sentiment cards. Finally, I adhered a bunch of black jewels from Pretty Pink Posh over the black colored negative space of the card.

      1. Love this card! The jewels are a nice, subtle touch. Amazing as always!

    1. Love, love, love this card. Color makes me happy! I’ve never colored an entire background with dark/black copic so that is something i’ll have to work up my courage to try. lol

    1. I absolutely adore this card!! The jewels on the background give it such a lovely subtle texture and the flowers just pop off the black background. Thank you so much for sharing it.

    1. Yana, I love this card! The style, the colors, everything about it. You are so talented.

    1. Love your card. I made some cards using the stamp and I wish I had embossed the design. I may take the time to color in the white space with a black copic marker.
