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.

Confetti Balloon Card for Spellbinders

It's party time over at Spellbinders with today's new release of the "It's My Party Too" collection. This card features 3D embossing plus a sentiment using my Glimmer Hot Foil System. Scroll down for a quick few details! You'll find product links at the end of this post, as well.

(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)

My sentiment was hot foiled using my Glimmer machine, foil from a 4 pk of Christmas Glimmer foils and the new Glimmering All About You Hot foil plate.

I also embossed my cardstock using the new Floating Balloons 3D Embossing Folder with my 

Platinum 6 die cut/emboss machine.

Confetti balloons are super popular at birthday parties and other celebrations, so I wanted to create confetti balloons, using my Copic Markers.

The markers that I used are C1, 100, Y21 and R32. I kept it simple and minimalistic, dotting all over my balloons with the mass of "confetti" at the base of the balloons and other random dots at the top, kind of how confetti clings inside a real balloon.

I also carefully swiped along the left curve of each balloon with my light gray Copic Marker (C1) to give a little more definition and a shading effect.

 

If you follow me on Instagram, I'll have a quick 15 second Reel showing a bit of the creative process.

Watercoloring is my absolute favorite technique. It really is so easy and if you've never tried to watercolor, you don't know what you're missing! Don't be intimidated, give it a try! I've had my Altenew pan watercolors for awhile and they have been well loved and worth every penny!

Altenew is also having a Spring Has Sprung sale that ends today at 11:59 pm EST with more than 350 products on sale, up to 50% off. The Timeless Tulip stamp set is one of the products on sale. Yay!

Timeless Tulips Stamp Set
from: Altenew

Look for the short process reel on my Instagram page that will go live later today, featuring the card above created with my Altenew pan watercolors, the Timeless Tulip stamp set, 3D Window Slats Embossing Folder and more.

About this card: I wanted to create an indoor scene, as if the tulips were lying on a counter or table next to a window with closed blinds. Yeah, that's how my mind works, haha! I'm definitely feeling Spring vibes though. If you're not into fussy cutting (as featured on my reel), the stamp set also comes as a bundle with dies.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to stop by Instagram and enter the giveaway on my reel which will be live at approximately 9 am CST. More details including giveaway terms will be on the reel description. Good luck and thanks for stopping by! You'll find clickable affiliate product links below, featuring more of the items used to create this project. Terri
