Here's a Spectrum Noir Marker Technique I know you will want to try! No stamping on this project...just embossing, coloring & die cutting.
Basically...all ya do is emboss a piece of vellum with an embossing folder, color with markers -- on the side that will be face down, then adhere to piece of white cardstock. The results are absolutely beautiful!
I mat the flower panel on a piece of Crafter's Companion New Black Pearl Shimmering Cardstock. The sentiment is die-cut from it too. It's the perfect thickness for even the most delicate die cutting pieces. No need for glitter or shimmer paints with this yummy cardstock!
