TGIF #334 - Product Challenge - White Gel Pen





This week the TGIF Team is playing with white gel pens! I love what a little bit of white “lining” can do for a card!


Check out the blog challenge here - TGIF Challenge Blog if you’d like to play along.





This one took a while! It took me more than one try to get the look I wanted.

I used some watercolor brushes to paint these pretty sunflowers. First, I used the Sunflower 3D Embossing folder on a piece of Basic White Cardstock. I also distressed the edges of the cardstock with the edge of one of the blades of my paper snips.

The watercolor brushes were either dipped in a little bit of reinker or, for the colors I didn’t have any reinker for, I just dragged the tip of the watercolor brushes over the stamp pads of the color I wanted to use. 


After I was done “painting” the sunflowers, I added some lines and dots using a white gel pens. I also used a Black Journaling Pen to lightly trace around and through the sunflowers to make them pop a little more.

What a beautiful card! I'm sure it took a while to get it "just right." Amazing how highlights and shadows can bring cards to life, right?
