This card uses the Miss Anya that I got at Paper Garden Projects (and she has a haircut) LOL.
The city is a doodle I did. I am SO excited about printing it from my computer and then embossing it in white & tinting with Copics. Feels like magic!!!!
A) Prep embossing stuff & Print an image from your computer onto dark cardstock
B) Sprinkle white embossing powder onto the wet ink & heat set it
C) Tint the white embossing with Copic Markers
SUPPLIES:
* Black/other dark cardstock
* Clear gel medium (available at art supply stores)
* Brayer & or paint brush (to apply gel medium)
* Printer & digital image
* White embossing powder (or other light e.p.)
* Heat gun
* Copic Markers I've used Aqua B15, Pure pink RV23, Frost Blue B00, Cadmium Red R27, Apple Green G14 and a colourless blender,
* White opaque marker (Close to my Heart)
Full instructions
for making the city skyline:
A word on cardstock: I've used black Noir Sparkle cardstock from Paper Temptress painted with clear gel medium, but other cardstocks that emboss without the gel medium would be: Nero Incandescent & Onyx
To emboss in white:
Step 1}Use a dark cardstock that embosses well out of the printer or Paint cardstock with gel medium & Let gel medium dry well
Step 2}Have white embossing powder & heat gun at the ready
Step 3}Print digital image of city onto the gelled cardstock (standard or fast printer settings seem to let the ink stay wet)
Step 4}Emboss right away with white embossing powder
Step 5}Remove stray powder with a brush
Step 6}Heat embossing powder to melt & then cool it
To tint it:
Step 1} colour the white embossing with Copic markers
Step 2} Remove any excess Copic with a colourless blender
Step 3}Shade with a white opaque marker (CTMH)
Step 4}Remove excess white marker with a colourless blender (the marker will settle in the brush mark grooves of the gel medium for a nifty texture
Supplies:
For the sky:
* Pink Pirouette cardstock
* Text file (or stamp)
* Gesso & a scrap of card to apply
* Pink & turquoise markers
* Niji watercolour brush.

WOW!! This is fabulous! I just took my DD (age ten) to NYC, along with my mom. It's one of my fave places to shop, and DD agrees. Point being~ this totally reminds me of us all shopping in NYC! I hope to do something fun with the great "doodle" that I would say is a drawing!
