IDEAS - Inks / Colour Mediums

Hi everyone.  I'm back with another card following Darnell's IDEAS Challenge.
Today is "I" - Inks / Color Mediums.

I recently bought two different sizes of 8 colours of POSCA pens (acrylic paint pens).  These pens are opaque and this is the first time I've used them to colour an image.  They are easy to use ... and they definitely cover over a dark or busy background with solid colours.  

I used a leftover smooshed panel of pearl alcohol inks as my background, stamped with Delicate Beauty (Penny Black) in black ink and clear heat embossed.  It's the first time I've used this stamp as well. :)  Coloured the image and then cut a piece from my panel to use as the sentiment banner, stamping from the same stamp set as above.

Close-up ...
I have used two NBUS items, so I'm sending this card to NBUS Challenge #60.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stamps:  Delicate Beauty (Penny Black)
Paper:   White card stock (Neenah 110 lb.); Coated card stock
Ink:   Black (Memento); POSCA paint pens (red, green, white)
Accessories:   Clear embossing powder (Ranger), heat tool

  1. This is so pretty, Lolly, and so you with these gorgeous sunset colors! I love how you did the sediment with a strip of the panel! You've got me wondering if I have some of those POSCA pens. (I should know after doing the purge not that long ago!!) Thank you for playing with my I.D.E.A.S. schedule and inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Dolly

  4. Talk about gorgeous! Love those brilliant colors and the way the image shows up so well on the bright colors. No idea how you heat embossed over coated cardstock. I often have it bubble up on me. Beautiful card!

  6. Thanks for showing what those pens can do, Loll. They really colored in the flowers so they pop against your beautiful ink panel.

  7. What a bright and beautiful pearl alcohol ink background to your pretty flowers Loll, and love the Posca pens which do cover a dark colour brilliantly and some super white highlights on the petals..the sentiment looks great on a matching piece of the background too. x

  9. You really put your coloring mediums to work on this one! Gorgeous background, and you and your Posca pens did a fantastic job of coloring right over it. A pretty little PB stamp, too. Gosh, a whole set. I swoon over colors. It's an affliction I've had since childhood. I love that I can always see plenty of color when I visit you here.

  10. Hmm - I think I might have to get some Posca pens if for nothing else than to colour over dark backgrounds! Love the rich colour you got from them! The pearl AI background is gorgeous.

  22. WOW! Fiery, sunny colors are a huge advantage of this card. This delicate branch of flowers is beautifully colored with POSCA markers. I haven't heard of such an article, thanks for sharing this information. The sentiment goes perfectly with your sweet floral image.
