Artsy Grunge Card for Spellbinders

Today's card features the Wildly Beautiful 3D Embossing Folder from the Spellbinders "Through The Meadow" collection, designed by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. I really wanted to do something atypical for my card so I went for an artsy grunge look. This was colored entirely with OLO Markers. Scroll down for creative details and my supply list!

I embossed my image with an A2 size white card panel using my Platinum 6 die cut machine. Next, I proceeded to color my images and outline my coloring with a fine tip black pen. This is helpful so the brush marker doesn't infringe on the colored images too much.

(Just for kicks, have you ever had Mexican Street Corn on the Cob? The colors of my finished sunflowers remind me of it, haha! The char on the cob, the grated Parmesan.... can you see it??)

I used 6 different OLO Markers:

 

YO2.3 - Butterscotch

YG8.5 - Moss

OR7.4 - Milk Tea

02.4 - Golden Poppy

0R3.7 - Mocha

CG.9 - Cool Gray 9

Spellbinders carries several sets of OLO Markers that you can find here, but individual markers can only be purchased from the OLO Marker website and I'll have those linked in my supply list below.

I also used my Spellbinders Splatter White for paint splatters. I placed a tiny amount on a small acrylic block added a bit of water, then flicked the mixture off the edge of the block with a wet paintbrush.

 To embellish my flowers even more, I used my OLO Marker CG9 by turning it sideways so just the sides touched the center buds. I also did some sideway swiping with the same marker across my petals for that grunge look. I also used a white gel pen to add some tiny white dots in the center.

I continued to use the dark gray marker to dot other images and colored in my background with it as well. It actually looks black when coloring, but my background lightened up a bit afterwards.

Due to the bright lighting for photographing, my glamour shots have almost a dark bluish hue to the background, however, it is really more of a dark gray, as pictured in my 3rd photo.

I had done some bulk foiling many months ago using my Glimmer Hot Foil System and the Curved Everyday Sentiments Glimmer Plates and Die Set from the Glimmering Flowers collection. I grabbed one of those sentiments, swiped the edges with my Butterscotch OLO Marker and popped it up on adhesive foam. My light orange background paper was from my stash, but Spellbinders has a gorgeous new Coral paper from their new ColorWheel collection that would be very complimentary.

The full measurements of this card come in at 4.75 x 6 inches, and I did score my own card for my card base.
