Marbled Magic: Vellum Floral Card with Artist Markers

Hi there, it's Ruby

I thought I'd share a card with you that I taught in a card-making workshop last weekend as it was really well received. It's a fun technique to play with. I made a card with it over on my blog here if you want to check out a different design.

Stamp Altenew's Captivating Blooms flower stamp onto vellum using Versamark ink
Emboss the flowers using silver embossing powder
Flip the embossed vellum panel over and lay down a base colour with Artist Markers. Note: Colouring on the reverse side creates a softer effect and reduces the risk of damage to your markers.
Go back over the base colour with a lighter marker and stipple the petals to create a mottled effect.
Using Altenew's Fine Tulle Stencil and pale purple ink, stamp the card base
Attach your coloured vellum panel to some double-sided adhesive sheets. This solves any issues with glue showing through
Fussy cut your finished panel and attach it to the stencilled card base
Using Altenew's Hello and Hugs die set, die cut the sentiment out of silver and purple cardstock. Layer and attach to the card. Note: The closest die I could find to this was Altenew's Fancy Hugs Die. It's not a shadow die, but you could offset it to create a shadow effect.
Add some silver watercolour splatter and some dark blue sequins to finish
