Spellbinders’ BetterPress of the Month, is a beautifully detailed floral design. I love that the plates for both the better press and glimmer systems are interchangeable. A lot of bang for your buck! For today’s card, I have glimmered the design because it makes it easier to colour with alcohol markers, I love incorporating flowers and unusual colours for unique Christmas cards. This Copic colouring is simply done. There is no shading or tonal differences. The colour has been applied in a direct manner to each of the elements.
The BetterPress of the Month was foiled using the Glimmer Hot Foil System. Aura Hot Foil was glimmered onto white cardstock measuring 4 1/4“ x 5 1/2“.
The image was coloured with alcohol markers. I used Copic markers but any brand would be suitable.
The colour palette was kept simple. RV99, Y19 and R59 were used for the flowers. For the leaves, YG97, 95 and 25 were used.
Using a fan brush, the panel was spattered with Splatter White Opaque Watercolor.
The width of the panel was trimmed to 4 inches before adhering it to an A2 sized, black card base.
The lettering for the word joy is from an older Spellbinders die set. It was cut from deep wine and gold glitter cardstock. The letters were offset before adhering them to the card front.
The card was embellished with Satin Gold Sequins finished off withNuvo Crystal Drops Morning Dew.
