Wonderful You!

This card is similar to one I did earlier, in different colours and a slightly different technique. I used the glossy paper and stayzon ink in jet black on this card. I used the markers to colour in the center of the flower first with So Saffron Stampin' Write marker as well as the petals. Tip: colour in only a few petals at a time so that you can use the blender pens to blend the colours. If you take too long and colour in all of the petals before blending the markers, it will dry and doesn't blend as well. The trick to blending is having the ink wet enough to blend. I used Almost Amethyst, and Elegant Eggplant as a dark accent. The glossy paper made a big difference when using the Stampin' write markers. This card that I had made in Mellow Moss was done with regular Whisper White cardstock. The blender pen didn't really blend it, but using the coordinating markers and ink made it a lovely card none the less. There are so many options and techniques when working with the markers and colouring. So much to do...so little time...lol.
