Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Penny Black booth during the CHA Convention in Chicago. The days flew by and were filled with non-stop color and laughter.
To end this week, I thought it would be fun to share how I create patterned papers with Copic markers.
If you are thinking that making this paper might be too involved – keep reading! I am almost embarrassed to tell you how fast you can do this!
Simply stamp your design on colored cardstock with VersaMark Watermark ink and heat emboss with white powder. Here I used Penny Black’s Fern Green (05-002).
Then add color with Copics!
Yes, those are the full instructions!
A couple things to keep in mind are:
*Don’t worry about being precise. Have fun with it!
*Don’t worry about coloring in and around the whole design. The colored cardstock starts you out with a base color. You just need to add highlights. This is the fast factor.
*Remember that Copics will discolor the white embossing. I colored the insides of the flower petals and leaves, but left the outline white. Again, don’t worry if you accidentally color over a line – I did in several places! I even randomly threw in some orange here and there.
I am going to reveal another deceiving factor. While this looks like a full stamped sheet, I only stamped around the perimeter of the cardstock. If you were to lift up the matted sentiment panel you would find an unstamped, blank middle. Another time saver!
Here is a closer view of the popped up bunny and elegant sentiment with crystal gem embellishments.
I also tore the orange strip of paper to reveal a white edge and compliment the white embossed design.
These are a few strips that were left over after I trimmed my piece to fit on the front of the card. They make great envelope trimmings.
I know I say this often, but it is said each and every time with heartfelt gratitude – THANK YOU FOR VISITING!
With appreciation,
Elizabeth
