Metallic Card Stock & Metallic Markers

Hey there!I'm here today with a card project put together for CutCardStock.

We are quickly approaching Father’s Day, so I thought a card for that occasion would be appropriate. And, I thought I would use Stardream Metallic Card Stock as it’s the Monthly Special for May

If you have not used these card stocks, you have to try them. They are beautiful and, believe it or not, you can use many different coloring mediums on them! I am using metallic markers this time around and a little bit of white stamp pad.

This project was started by using a 5 x 7 inch 3D embossing folder to emboss on a piece of Sapphire Blue Stardream Metallic Card Stock.

Next I used a finger dauber and white ink from a stamp pad to “color” in the raised cloud areas of the embossing. I used a light pouncing motion.

The balloons were colored nest with Spectrum Noir Metallic Markers. Glitter gel pens were also used in smaller areas.

Once all the coloring is done it’s time to assemble the card.

I used a 7 x 10 inch piece of Basis Blue Card Stock, scored at 5 along the 10 inch side and folded in half. This makes a 5 x7 inch card base. A piece of Silver Stardream Metallic Card Stock was cut to 4 3/4 x 6 3/4 inches. The embossed panel was trimmed to slightly smaller than the silver and matted. Center onto the blue card base.

All that’s left is to add a sentiment.

I die cut Happy Father’s Day on a scrap of the Basis Blue Card Stock, backed with the Silver Stardream Metallic and fussy cut for a shadow effect.

Adhere the sentiment to the card and we’re done!

I am happy with the way metallic marker coloring turned out on 

this Stardream Metallic Card Stock.

As always, we would love for you to connect with us over on 

the CutCardStock Facebook Page and the Facebook Group Creating with Card Stock for more inspiration.
