The next challenge I tried in the group was to use vellum. You scribble markers onto vellum and mostly cover the whole piece, then you take Rubbing Alcohol, preferably 90% or higher, and apply with a hard bristle brush dabbing over top of the markers, it blends and gives this great background, Made another piece to emboss with gold embossing powder this rose stamp and butterfly. Using the same gold for the sentiment. After I fussy cut out I colored the leaves in, I was suppose to do that on the backside before applying it with glue to a piece of white cardstock so the colors would show up but I had forgot to do that step, I think it still turned out ok, you just have to be careful with the embossing because the markers and the embossing don't do well together you could ruin your marker but I had an old marker I could use thankfully.
The background piece was put through an embossing folder and then inked before applying to the background.
Here is a link to the video showing the process.
- Spectrum noir alcohol markers - CR4, CR6 and CR8
- Sizzix - Embossing folder, sorry no name has been inked after embossing
- Spellbinders - Candlewick Rectangle die
- Hot off the press - Watercolor roses stamp set

This is beautiful, Connie! That's a technique that I haven't tried but am totally inspired by. The gold embossing on this adds so much elegance and texture. Well done!

Wowza this is gorgeous! I love that you did the background then did it again for embossing the flower. I have only done this technique once and it has been a bit, so I might need to do it again.
Beautiful!
