Color Infusion

It isn’t just the color but the depth and texture that captivates me. This card and envelope were created using the same technique – brayering on ink – but the color on the glossy paper is so much richer and vibrant. I didn’t want to use glossy cardstock when I made the matching envelope – so I used regular copy paper, and ended up with a more “matte” finish. The cutouts are made by embossing (black ink and powder) on metallic gold paper – then metallic markers were used to fill in. The swirls and stars are from a Rollagraph wheel, and I used clear embossing ink and gold embossing powder. It’s so much fun to play with color – whether in an individual project or, more large scale, designing the whole color scheme for your house. I love the challenge either way. If you’d ever seen my art supplies collection – you’d know I love to have every available color option!
