Technique #1 Eye-Catching Water Droplet Background
For my first card, I created an eye-catching water droplet background using Distress Inks. I carefully selected the perfect color palette, blended the inks, and added droplets to achieve a stunning effect. To enhance the design, I incorporated the Blooms Hot Foil Plate from the Hexi-Gem Collection, bringing an element of elegance to the card.
Technique #2 Vibrant Coloring with Alcohol Ink Markers
Infuse vibrant colors into your design to step-up your card! For my second card, I used alcohol ink markers to bring my Blooms Hot Foil Plate image to life. Coloring adds depth to the foiled image and gives your card personality!
Technique #3 Bold Watercoloring with Distress Oxides
Prepare to make a bold statement with foiling on black cardstock! For my third card, I hot foiled the Blooms Hot Foil Plate on black cardstock to create some beautiful contrast. I then stepped things up by watercoloring the floral image using my Distress Oxides. The bright colors with the foiling creates a striking effect! To enhance things even more, I used the Essential Dies to cut out my image. I think this card is my favorite. Which one is your favorite?
