If you ever get your hands on patterned paper that utilizes shapes outlined in a metallic ink on white, you can make that paper your very own!
Select a color combination that you enjoy. The focal point of my card is an outlined hummingbird. When choosing my colors, I chose colors that would work well on a hummingbird. In my case, that is blue, green and a goldy-yellow.
Now, go ahead and color in only a handful of the shapes on the patterned paper.
Read on for a tutorial on how I created the rest of my card.
SUPPLIES:
White cardstock
Metallic foiled paper to coordinate with the patterned paper
Patterned paper with metallic outlined designs
VersaMark Ink
A stamp of a colorable image
Markers of your choice. I used alcohol-based markers
Big Shot
Embossing Buddy
Metallic Embossing Powder to match
Heat Tool
Deckled Circles dies
Metallic Ribbon
Rhinestones
Dimensionals
INSTRUCTIONS:
Fold a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of white cardstock in half, creasing it well with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of patterned paper with metallic outlined designs to 4" x 5 1/4". Using markers of your choice, color in a selection of the designs. You don't need to color in the center designs as they will be covered with your focal image.
Add this piece to the card base.
Rub a 3 1/2" square of white cardstock well with the Embossing Buddy. In VersaMark Ink, stamp your image. Cover the stamped image with your metallic embossing powder. Use the Heat Tool to melt the embossing powder until it is uniformly shiny.
Use the same colors of markers you used on the background paper to color in your focal image.
Using Deckled Circles dies, die cut the colored image. From coordinating metallic cardstock, cut another deckled circle a bit larger than the image one.
Cut a 4" length of metallic ribbon. Fold it in half, and adhere it to the lower portion of the back of the image piece so the ends extend from the bottom. Trim the ribbon to your liking.
Adhere the circles together, sandwiching the ribbon between them.
Use Dimensionals to add the circle to the card, leaving approximately even margins at the sides and the top.
For a final touch, add a few rhinestones around your image.
