Hello friends! Today I am thrilled to be joining Altenew Paint-A-Flower Carnations Release Blog Hop! You should be arriving from Kelly Griglione blog. For my cards today I am sharing a fun no masking technique of coloring over ink smooshing with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers! This technique lends itself to beautiful results. Finishing touches of a foiled gold frame, gold embossed greeting, embossed sentiment strip, and heart accent complete this beautiful card. Let's get started!

THE BACKGROUND
I wanted my finished card to have an elegant glimmered foil frame. I am addicted to foiling and have been adding it to many, many cards lately! To do this, it needs to be the first step otherwise the foil can reheat the embossing and stick to the embossed areas which doesn't look great if that's not the look you want! (Ask me how I know! ha!)
Next, I stamped the Paint-A-Flower Carnations image around the perimeter of the panel with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
I used Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Inks watered down with a spritz of water and leftover plastic packaging to "ink smoosh" the background. I love the imperfect watercolored effect this creates. It's one of my favorite techniques for backgrounds as it looks amazing!
I used the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color in the flowers:
Once the background is completely dry I stamped "Congratulations" from the Paint-A-Flower Carnations Stamp Set on the background with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.
Another phrase from the stamp set was stamped on Hero Arts Palm Cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The greeting was die cut with a Simon Says Stamp Nested Banners Die and adhered to the background with foam adhesive.
A small heart accent was adhered under the greetings and the panel was adhered to a white top fold card base to finish the design.

The floral image was repeatedly stamped around the perimeter of the colored cardstock panel using a black ink for Copic coloring. I colored these beauties in with Copic Markers on the light colored cardstock and stamped over the whole thing with white pigment ink using the new STAMPtember Old Letter Background. I'm always a sucker for a beautiful text background! I paired phrases from the Framed Friendship Stamp Set with the Simon Says Stamp Friend Dies for the sentiment.
There are very limited quantities available and it is ONLY available at Simon Says Stamp this STAMPtember while supplies last. Framed Friendship is anticipated to be one of the hottest sellers so grab yours quick before they're gone!

I heat set the ink to dry it fast and stamped the frame from the Framed Friendship Stamp Set was stamped over the background with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Antique Gold Embossing Powder. To make the frame even (only half stamps at a time), I stamped and embossed one half of the design, flipped the panel (not the stamp) in my MISTI, and stamped and embossed the other half.
The Simon Says Stamp Friend shadow was die cut from smooth white cardstock. The sentiment was die cut from smooth white cardstock adhered to Fun Foam with Stick It Adhesive. The letters were colored in with the following Copic Markers:
Pink: RV52, RV55, RV66
Red: R30, R32, R35
Yellow: Y13, Y18, YR04
Mint: G00, G02, G09
Green: YG21, YG13, YG17
Aqua: BG11, BG13, BG18
The greetings were all added to the card with foam adhesive.
