Clarity Alliums with Highlighter Pens

I had a fab day out today. I've been to a PanPastel workshop taught by Kate Crane at Art from the Heart. It was a lot of fun, although I was totally out of my comfort zone. Most of the ladies were art journallers and my style couldn't be more different! I'm really pleased with what I created though and I'll be blogging it when I've added a few finishing touches.

I got the idea for today's card from an article by Paula Whittaker in August 2012's Craft Stamper magazine.


The secret ingredient is highlighter pens!


You colour in pieces of card with the pens (for this card I used orange, yellow, and pink) and then go over it with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I kept the colouring quite random as I liked the effect it gave, almost like woodgrain. This was a happy accident after some dodgy colouring!

I then stamped on my much loved Clarity Alliums in Archival Black and finished it off with a little bow and "Happy Birthday".

    Love the card, what a great idea, will have to try it, but not got round to doing the shaving foam background yet, though I have bought some foam.
