Welcome to week 41 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase. Every week our team has been featuring one of the colours in the beautiful Stampin' Up! range, in alphabetical order. This week we are featuring Rich Razzleberry, which is a lovely purple/red colour that is in our Regals colour family.
I have recently seen numerous cards made using the Isopropyl Alcohol and Blends Marker technique, so I thought I would have a try for this showcase. The main tip I have for you is that you need to use a solution that has a very high alcohol percentage, as in almost 100% I bought my bottle from Bunnings in the Paint Accessories department.
The colours I have used for my card are Rich Razzleberry, Rococo Rose and Mint Macaron.
I used the Blends Markers one at a time, alternating with using the alcohol to blend. I started with a piece of Vellum card stock larger than I needed so that I could choose which section of the finished piece I could use on my card.
Once I had finished with the Blends Markers I got my tub of Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint and a tooth pick splattered small amounts on the Vellum piece. I used the Isopropyl Alcohol to spread out the shimmer paint slightly. This added to the splotchy look of the finished piece.
The butterfly is cut from Champagne Foil paper using one of the Brilliant Wings Dies.
I cut a window in the front Rich Razzleberry piece with a die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, to form a window to mount the patterned piece behind. I embossed this with the Subtle 3D embossing folder to add a bit of texture to my card.
The greeting is from the Borders Abound and is embossed in Silver Embossing Powder. As I didn't have a Mint Macron Ribbon, I used my Mint Macaron Blends Marker to colour a piece of White Seam Binding Ribbon.
