My card I created using one of the gorgeous Free Digital Stamps from STAMPlorations. They are available for you to download here, limited time!
I printed the digital stamp on a white cardstock with inkjet printer. I printed it the night before so the ink will dry completely. Or you can also print it and dry the ink with craft heater before you color it to avoid smearing.
I colored the printed image with Metallic and Glitter Gel Pens. It is so fun using these gel pens. I tried blending two colors with gel pens and they worked! The trick is the colors need to blend right away while they are still wet.
I colored the letters with Black ShinHan Alcohol Marker and then I used Ocean Mist Copic Marker to add light shadow all around the flower bouquet.
I stamped the butterflies from Brave One Stamp Set with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink Pad on a white cardstock with Mini MISTI. I colored them with gel pens also. After that I fussy cut them with scissors.
And… for extra glitter… I used Spectrum Noir Sparkles Clear Brush on all the images. Can you see all that glitter shines???
I added a heart patterned paper on an A2 White Card base and then I added the finished colord digital image right on top of the card. And the I added those butterflies with micro-glue dots for extra dimension.

I never thought to use gel pens to color an entire image, only for accents. I’ll need to try this out now! Your card is gorgeous!
