Here is my next card using our Metallic Markers. This one is done in a more monochrome look. I chose to go with a copper tone and the photo really doesn't do it justice. Here's a link to the first card.
As before, I started by dry embossing a floral design into the cardstock. To keep the black cardstock from cracking and showing the white core while being embossed I placed a white piece of cardstock on top of the black. Now I also have a white embossed piece for a different project.
The idea is to use the marker on only the top part of the embossed design. The ink flows so easily you don't need any pressure at all. Using the metallic markers on black cardstock creates a dramatic look, don't you think?
To create the layers I put the embossed layer on Copper Ore. It's a special cardstock with a soft metallic look to it. The card base is white covered with a piece of Scarlet cardstock. When comparing the copper colors with my cardstock I was surprised to see that Scarlet was the best choice. Next to the copper it takes on a rusty dull red look. Very pretty!
