Here's my DT card for the newest Inkspirational Challenge #324 Designer's Choice - Nonni is the Designer this time and she chose - Make Your Mark - use markers on your card design.
I used a coloring on vellum technique I learned last month as a member of the Group of Seven Cardmakers - see my post here to see other ways to use vellum.
I stamped the images onto panels of vellum using Nocturne Versafine Clair Ink which I then heat embossed using clear embossing powder. Then I flipped the panel over and colored over the open spaces with Copics. I adhered the vellum to the white card base using an Adhesive Sheet from Sizzix.
This shows the vellum panel flipped over after stamping in black and clear embossing. Then I just colored over the clear spaces. Because it's vellum - I went over the colors several times and kept checking the front to be sure the colors showed through dark enough.
The Bold Botanicals stamp set I used has 4 images - 3 floral and one a pinecone and pine sprigs so I tried each stamp coloring with different colors.
The photos below show how I colored on the back of the vellum panels with Copics.
This pinecone one will be a Christmas card!
Here's the coloring on the back.
So how do you use markers on your cards?? Please join us over at Inkspirational!
The challenge ends on 9/20.

What a wonderful technique and your cards are stunning! They make such a beautiful and dramatic statement. We are so glad you've played along with us at Color Hues!
Even though the stamps are quite bold designs, the vellum technique gives them a beautiful subtlety. Lovely.
Great coverage of colors with these dramatic images, Julia! Four fantastic cards, my friend!

These are all absolutely BEAUTIFUL Julia! I love how the vellum softens everything up but yet at the same time, makes each image so dramatic! Thanks so much for sharing all these beauties (and especially the pinecone one!) with us at The Color Hues Challenge! Hugs. :0)

Oh Julia, this is amazing! It looks almost like screenprinting ; I love the effect~
I haven't done that technique in ages! You chose the perfect images for it and made such lovely cards!
I’ve never tried coloring on vellum before and I’m surprised by the outcome. So beautiful!
