Before I share my card today I want to talk about my previous card. I believe the reason the black ink didn't show up on the veins of the leaves is because the re-inker wasn't quite dry before I stamped. You need to spritz with 90% or higher alcohol right away when you drop the re-inker on the photo paper. I haven't done it again but I was so pleased with the results I will be doing it on another card. I'll share what happens.
Today's card is a technique Colleen of https://onesmileliftsaspirit.blogspot.com/ shared with us at the retreat. I scribbled Copic markers in three different colors just back and forth on cardstock. The third color doesn't show up but it is supposed to be ombre'. Then covered the marker with Nuvo glimmer paste. I used a sheet of Echo Park paper and cut a leaf from it with a Poppy Stamp die and when the paste was dry, I adhered the paper over it, then adhered to gold c/s. The sentiment is cut from Echo Park paper pack and I added a few copper sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. What a beautiful technique and a great teacher. Thanks, Colleen.
Be kind to one another.
