Coloring with Crystal Lacquer Pearl and Metallic Pens

Hi! Today I would like to show you how I used Metallic &

Pearl Crystal Lacquer to create an embellishment and main focal image for a card.

List of supplies used today are:

Acetate

Image Stamp to color

StazOn Ink

3D Metallic & Pearl Crystal Lacquer

Card Base

Card stock

Patterned Paper

Sentiment Stamp

Embellishments

I started with a piece of acetate (packaging) and

 stamped a butterfly to color with my metallic/pearl pens.

I chose to use a complimentary color of permanent

StazOn Ink. I chose StazOn Ink so it wouldn't smudge.

Next I turned my image over to color it.

I used each color in the set. When it was dry I turned my image back over to

reveal the lines of my image with my vibrant pearlized colors visible.
Then cut out the image leaving approx. a 1/8" edge around the stamped image

I layered my card stock and patterned paper on my card base.

I used pop dots to adhere my butterfly in the center small enough not to show through.

I added the rest of my embellishments and stamped my sentiment at the bottom.

The inside of the card has a lovely Serenity Poem.

 Here is a close up of the butterfly. (hard to capture on camera)
