Sketchy Roses in gold

Hi there

I am sharing my third card for the month of June for Paper Rose Studio .

I have used copic markers and gold embossing to create a card that I feel is almost fabric like.

I was so inspired by Yana Smakula's Youtube Video that I just had to create a card using those beautiful yellows combined with gold embossing.

I love how gorgeous the rich yellows look against the dark background, combined with the added contrast of the gold embossing. I am really pleased with the end result and I adore that little glitz that the gold embossing powder gives.

I love how the flowers pop on the dark background it gives them a more dimensional look.

First off, I cut out some masks of the two main roses from the Paper Rose sketchy roses stamp set.

I use Gina K Masking Magic, it's really thin and stamping over the masking magic doesn't leave this elittle spots that have missed around the mask edge.

You will need a Misti or stamping platform to be able to stamp again over the top of the coloured roses

so you can add gold embossing after colouring.

Using my Misti I have stamped out the two roses in black ink

and then coloured in with my copic markers.

Without moving the stamps I have then placed my coloured roses back into my Misti and stamped over the top with versafine ink.

Then I have embossed with gold embossing powder. I used Ranger Princess Gold.

After embossing I have repositioned my card back into my Misti and worked out where to place my next two roses.

Masking the now embossed original flowers I have stamped the two roses again in black ink and repeated

the steps once again.

Colouring with copic markers and re-stamping in versafine ink to gold emboss. I have repeatedly stamped and coloured until I have filled in all the larger open spaces with roses.
