This post features a new (well probably not new to most, but new to me) technique called Black Magic. I hope my written explanation makes sense. If I had a tripod for my FLIP video camera I would totally be posting more how-to videos! Well, here is my card...
I used the Black Magic technique on the stamped image seen here to the right. This technique works best with filled in images - i.e. not outlined only images.
All you need is a stamped image, dark colored cardstock, white craft ink, colored pencils, and a white gel pen. The vase and flower image seen here is from Stampin Up's Button Buddies stamp set. This is a very easy technique to execute and produces beautiful results.
Step 1: Ink your image with white craft ink and on dark colored cardstock. I used Early Espresso CS here.Wait for ink to dry before applying color. tip: You can speed up the drying process with a heat tool.
Step 2: With your colored pencils, begin coloring in the image
This is what my image looked liked when I was done coloring in all the white spaces.
Step 3: When I finished coloring in my image, I added some "highlights" by outlining parts of the image with me white get pen. It helps to really make the image "pop"! Viola! All done!
I ended up adding a little bit more embellishment to the image by using brads to fill in the centers of the flowers.
