Coloring on Glitter

Happy weekend to everyone. I wanted to share a technique that I learned last weekend at a crafting class. Everyone there was coloring with Copic markers but me, well I colored with my Spectrum Noir markers of course.

 

 

This is Christmas Elf Marci from La-La Land crafts. She has been colored on Glitter Ritz Micro fine glitter.  The first thing we did was cover paper with double sided adhesive. Next we added that glitter and burnished that glitter well onto the adhesive. After that we stamped the image with Momento Tuxedo Black ink. Once dry, it coloring time!

 

Here are the colors that I used:

 

Greens: CG1, CG3, CG4

Pinks: PP2, PP4, PP5

Reds: CR6, CR8, DR5, DR7

Browns: TN3, TN5, TN7, TN8

Skin: FS2, FS4, FS7, FS9

Blush/ Lips: CR3, CR5

White on candy cane: BG1, BG2

Buckle: CT1, CT2, CT4

Shadow: IB1

 



  

 

Here is the finished card, I absolutely love this technique!  I cannot wait to try it again!

Iam Lucy in Blue

Hey there everyone.... today I am sharing a card that I have made with Iam Lucy from Pixie Dust studio. I was feeling kinda blue ;)

For the background I used a Fiskars texture plate in my Cuttlebug. The rosette was cut with the Tim Holtz rosette die.

Here is a close up of the coloring. I used my Spectrum Noir markers in the TB family with some touches of Cool Grey. The hat was fluffed with Snow-Tex.  I also added some shimmer with a Star Dust Gelly Roll pen.

 

Here is the side view. As you can see, this was an easel card. I punched some snowflakes with my EK Success punch and added some bling.
