Good morning Crafters.....
I hope you are all well!!
So... what do I do when I'm given a pack of Nova Fineliner Metallic Pens?
Let me show you how simple it is to create something so artistic looking......
See the Shopping List for Special Offer Price
Step 1
▪️Firstly I used a 7x7 White Card Blank
▪️Using Sue Wilson's Noble Double Stitched Squares Die Set, I cut two mats - one in Gold Mirri Card and the other in black card.
▪️I then used Ultra Sticky Double Sided Tape to add to the card base.
Step 2
Now we all have some flower dies.... feel free to create here :-)
I've used a combination of Creative Expressions and John Next Door dies.
Ideally to create the effect, you want at least 3 different styles!!
▪️Cut all of your chosen flowers in black card and then using your Nova Metallic Pens, start to add colour to the petals.
I didn't colour the entire petals, you can still see the black card - as I felt it adds more dimension.
Step 3
▪️Once I had coloured all of my flowers, I used a moulding mat and Embossing Tools to add some dimension to the petals. I used Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue in a fine tip glue applicator to put them together.
Now in black card, I cut out some foliage from my flower die sets and coloured them with the 2 green pens.
Step 4
Now I confess..... I went rouge on the next part lol!!
Have a play with your flowers before gluing them, or be like me, and stick as you go along.
I used my Glue Gun and battled with the cobwebs during the process!
Crafter's will know what I mean lol.
I used my fine nozzle glue to add the foliage afterwards.
Step 5
▪️The centre of the flowers can be anything - gems, pearls, coloured glues, however I decided to go with pearls.
I also used these 4 decorative pearls for the corners.....
The sentiment was from Creative Expressions Wordies Birthday Sheet set and is nice and simple to use.
Well how easy was that!
Sometimes the simplicity of a card is never far away from your imagination....
Why not have a go at my card and share with us on our Facebook Group - Create With Craftmania And Jamie Rodgers. I'd love to see what you create!!
Take care all and I will be back very soon.

I love this Ian, a true work of art.
Great card!
Stunning card, those metallic markers look lush, I could just see those flowers once coloured as you have then going back over with one of the glitter brushes too, thanks for sharing.
