COLOR PALETTE


ALCOHOL INK MARKERS

  • Pine Tree Green (G29), Cadmium Yellow (Y15), Orange (YR68), Fuchsia (RV09), Lilac (V04), Amethyst (V17)

Six Copic Sketch markers on a gridded table, caps showing green, yellow, orange, fuchsia, lilac, and purple color codes.




STEP-BY-STEP CARD RECIPE:


  1. Create the Negative Die-Cut Frame: Take a black A2-sized card base place the Flying Butterfly Collage Wafer Die onto it, securing it in place with low-tack painter's or washi tape. Run the front flap through your die-cutting machine to create a negative butterfly window panel.


  2. Color the Glitter Background Panel: Trim a piece of Simon Says Stamp White Glitter Cardstockslightly smaller than your black A2 panel. Using your Copic markers, color bold, overlapping diagonal stripes directly onto the glitter surface in rainbow order: Green (G29), Yellow (Y15), Orange (YR68), Fuchsia (RV09), Lilac (V04), and Amethyst (V17). The Copic alcohol ink glides smoothly over the no-shed glitter surface, producing brilliant, jewel-toned color!

  3. Prep the Frame Assembly: Apply strong double-sided adhesive tape along all four back edges of your black die-cut frame.

  4. Assemble the Panel: Adhere the black butterfly frame directly over your rainbow Copic-colored glitter panel so the vibrant glitter shines brightly through the butterfly wing cutouts.


  5. Add Butterfly Bodies & Details: Die-cut the coordinating butterfly bodies and antennae from gold glitter cardstock and adhere them over the center of each butterfly.

  6. Prepare the Sentiment: Stamp the "i believe in you" sentiment from the Handwritten Love set, die-cut it with its shadow die, and mount it to the bottom right corner of your card using foam adhesive for dimensional pop.

  7. Finishing Touches: Attach the completed assembly onto a coordinating bright yellow card base. To finish it off, adhere a few sparkling warm-toned gems across the card front for extra flair!

Thank you for sharing your detailed instructions! I would’ve never guessed you used Copic markers. I thought you used some sort of shimmered paste. Beautiful card!

I love your card with the vivid, sparkling colors. I assume this doesn't harm your markers?
