I used my artist markers but I also used the refills a little bit differently. Experimenting is fun even when it goes weird. I assure you mine definitely did.
I started with Yupo paper and some regular rubbing alcohol. I dropped some alcohol onto the Yupo paper and then added a few different shades of blue. It didn't move a ton so I helped it along with a straw.
Once it was dry and it took a hot minute. Probably because I was creating make shift alcohol inks and alcohol blending solution. But hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained. I used the new Tim Holtz Alcohol Lift- Ink to stamp a few feathers in the background. Make sure you clean the stamp after each lift. There really is ink lifted up onto your stamp.
I stamped down two more feathers on white cardstock with a gray ink. I then used the warm gray markers from Artist set B to color them in with a feather texture. I used the layer stamps included in the set to gold emboss some detail on top of each feather before die cutting them out.
I used a similar warm gray ink to stamp my hello which I trimmed out by hand. The tiny banner I created by coloring white cardstock with the dark gray artist marker. Talk about a perfect match! a few gold sequins finished it off.
This entire thing went so bad. Typing it out will not do it justice. I promise I'll have the video up. It's to bizarre not to share lol.
Check out the video below. Get a beverage first. It's a long one!

ReplyDeleteI think your pretty feathery card is gorgeous! No one would think for a second that anything went weird. Love this card and the pretty color combination too!
ReplyDeleteThese feathers are awesome. Beautiful beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend investing in some Dixie cups. Trap the spiders. Sometimes for the freakishly large ones, you may want to put something heavy over it. Or tape it down. THEN you have time to call someone to kill them without worrying about losing them.
ReplyDeleteI always love your videos. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one that has trouble making a masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteYour card is stunning and I love your style of creating cards! I enjoy all your videos keep up the good work
ReplyDeleteBeautiful background!
ReplyDeletestunning background!
ReplyDeleteKelly, ....you had me laughing out loud watching your video....My husband probably thinks I’m nuts....as just out of the blue I start cracking up....as I sit there with my headset on watching your video for the second time....as once just wasn’t enough. And when you said...”stand by”....I lost it again. You are a little nut. So much fun to listen to. It is going to be funny to see how many times we all see blue spots on your work area...LOL...Ok....all that aside....Your card did end up very pretty.....when you warped it....OH my....I am sure I tinkled....laughing at my age..that happens...OK...this is just too much to write in a comment, but I, just like you do not know when to quit....LOL.....so....This made my day sweetie....you just keep being the
ReplyDeletebeautiful crafter that you are....and you will have a steady following....biggest hugs...
I can't decide if it would be amazing or terrifying if we could somehow have the story of each card magically appear on the back of our cards. Kind of like a "making of" featurette, only less sanitized so people realize what disasters we are. Yeah, that probably falls on the terrifying side. We shall take a lesson from Julia Child and never apologize! I'm amazed you made it through this card. Even with your mantra ringing in my ears, I think I might have rage quit somewhere around the time when the paper warped. Thanks for sharing your struggles and showing us that even when things go really sideways, we can still make something beautiful. (Ah, the life metaphors in crafting...) <3
ReplyDeleteKelly hun, I love you & your videos, but man alive when you have a disaster you really have one ! You have so so much more talent in your tiny tie than I have but how you stuck with this I will never know but admire deeply. But I do honestly think that in the end you turned it around & have a gorgeous card, the colour is pretty & has a nice texture, the gold shimmers & it has a very empowering sentiment on. Hugs from the heart ❤.
ReplyDeleteThe background is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteReally makes the light colors of the
feathers pop. thanks for sharing

Kelly I saw your video now and yes I saw where it went wrong. I think it's because the Yuppo paper is having a synthetic surface that your papers worped ( is that a correct word in English, I am Dutch so forgive me if it's wrong). But after putting the feathers on and finishing up that card looked great! So thank you and I'm curious about the continuation of your story.
ReplyDeleteKelly it is so fun working with Yupo paper even when it goes wonky. I have cut mine up and used it many other ways. I just think it is such a blast. Each is a super surprise. Love your card and I don't own these artists markers but the results are very good. Now you have me thinking. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a stunning card! Love that blue background with the gold feathers. The sequins are the perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteLovely card design with the feathers.
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful card! Love the new marker refills. They are so versatile!
ReplyDeleteluv the muted background feathers with the striking detailed feathers on op!
ReplyDeleteLove! Love! Love your beautiful blues background :) It is drop dead gorgeous Kelly! Thanks for the inspiration :)
