Coloring Foiled Roses with Alcohol Markers + A look back to our February Digi Release

Our February Digi Release had some amazing floral stamps! You know how much I love flowers! And I have been playing with different mediums to stretch the use of my digital stamps. My card for today features floral stamps from -You are Loved-.




To view the entire Graciellie Design digi collection click here. 

This color combo ruled my craft room this month! I love the contrast! I colored the images with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. The trick to get a clean foiled finish without any stains from the markers is to actually colored the flowers first and foil them once they're done. (Images were printed on laser printer and foiled with Deco Foil on a laminator.)

I hope you have a chance to try out this super easy tip! We have now over 40 digital stamp sets available and our shop continues to grow, so I know you'll find something to suit your cardmaking style so you can experiment with all these fun techniques we've shared along the way.

For more inspiration using our digital stamps follow our monthly blog hops. The creative team comes up with beautiful ideas all the time! We will be back with new stamps and more project ideas on March 1st, so please mark your calendars. See you then!
