In this post I'm sharing a really fun technique using our Metallic Markers. It's a lot of fun and can give you some really dramatic results! I've made several different versions of this card and will be sharing them over the next week so be sure to come back and check them out. Ok, let's go!
I love blue and silver together and here is a very pretty example of this combo. The metallic markers work on all kinds of paper but the most dramatic is to use them on black cardstock! Here is my 5" x 7" card.
First I used an embossing folder to create the raised image. I used black cardstock with a white core and sometimes it cracks when being embossed. To prevent this I simply put a piece of white (or any other color) cardstock on top of the black and embossed them together. This prevents the black from cracking and now I also have a white embossed piece to use on another project!
Once I had the embossing done I was ready to color. You just color the raised part of the image. The ink from the metallic marker flows easily with very little pressure. Just move it across the raised image with either the brush or bullet end of the marker.
When the image was colored I framed it with silver foil cut with our Stitched Square Frames die cut. The sentiment comes from our Operation Smile stamp set seen below.
