Black Magic ... under my spell

This technique is totally cool ... called Black Magic with a twist and is a combination of using white ink on a dark background and than colouring with Stampin Up Water colour pencils and a white gel pen for that extra magic pop factor!

The first card features the Watercolour Trio stamp set in the 2010 Summer mini catalog, the Top Note Bigz die and the scallop trim punch ... awesome combination inspired by Liz Goldhawk my up line mentor!

This section card is from the new catalog called Just Believe and is a cute little set!

Watercolour Trio

I am loving this colour combination too ... this card features Elegant Eggplant and Always Artichoke ... IMO they just compliment each other so nicely!

I learned another awesome trick and it was used on this card ... dying your plain white ribbon any coordinating colour you like by using your Stampin' Up! Markers and setting it aside to dry before adding it to your card .... so if your storage space is limited in your craft room you can focus on some pretty white ribbons and then just colour them in to match your paper! A perfect solution for any petite craft room.
