Hey Crafty People!
I’m sharing the details for the card that I posted yesterday on Instagram, using some gorgeous Erin Lee Creative products.
This is an easy technique using alcohol markers to add colouring over foiled images; another in my current Fun With Foil series.
Copic Colouring Over Foiled Images
- Foil the Protea hot foil plate onto your preferred cardstock (I used Neenah 80lb) using the Pewter Glimmer foil.
- Begin by colouring the florals, adding BG75 to the bases of the petals, blending it out through BG19, BG23 & BG10. Add more of the darkest colour to the flower centres and anywhere else you’d like to have more shadow.
- Colour the foliage in the same way using YG95, YG63 E15 & E50.
- For the background spaces between each of the flowers, add R20. If you are colouring the background, be sure that your marker is full and/or you have a re-inker available. (I love adding colour into the background as well.)
- Once you’ve finished colouring the panel, you can easily clean up any of the ink that’s sitting on top of the foil with a colourless blender. (Just be careful not to touch any of the coloured images with the blender marker, as it could push/pull some of the pigment where you don’t want it to be.
- Trim down the panel and mat it onto some Silver foil cardstock. (Cut a chunk from the centre of the silver piece so that you aren’t wasting it, because the coloured panel will be hiding all of that bit anyway!)
- Add a sentiment from an Erin Lee die cut set, using the same silver for the sentiment and matting it onto a vellum background.
- Finish the design with a few gems to embellish.
Please be aware:
As part of my Design Team and Guest Design work I do often receive free products to use, but I only ever recommend products that I genuinely love.
Also, I know how incredibly lucky I am to have these opportunities, but you don’t always NEED the newest products or the ‘full set’.
So please don’t feel that you need everything.
I like to show a variety of brands and products; this way; this way there will be something for everybody to enjoy.
