{Spotlight Project} Deepti Colors on Kraft!

Hello, friends! Deepti here and welcome to another spotlight feature. Today I am showcasing coloring a kraft card base. I haven't colored with markers on a kraft card base, so I thought I will give it a try and I like how it turned out. Here's the finished card:

STEP 1

I started out by die-cutting one edge of my kraft card stock with a border die. I also prepared the mask for the flower that I will use in this project. Then I heat embossed the flowers in white one after the other by simultaneous masking.

STEP 2

 Then I stamped the leaves along surrounding the flowers using white pigment ink. This was also done by masking the flowers.

STEP 3

I colored the flowers with Sharpie markers, You can do the same using other markers. I picked Sharpie because they have really vibrant colors and my Spectrum Noir markers are all pastel colors :)

STEP 4

I then used a white gel pen to cover the errors I made in coloring the flowers, basically going over the embossed image outline. I also heat embossed the sentiment.

STEP 5

I adhered a text patterned paper on card base and added the kraft panel with some foam adhesive.

Here's the finished card again:

That finishes my spotlight feature :) I hope you enjoyed it and will give this a try. Happy paper crafting!
