Inkspirational #324 - Designer's Choice - Using Markers

 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!
