coloring gilded specialty paper

This paper is gorgeously foiled Specialty paper ordered with 6 sheets of 12″ x 12″ paper in 3 different foiled colors: white background with copper foil, white background with silver foil and vanilla background with gold foil.

Today I am highlighting how beautifully easy this paper is to color on!

To maximize the paper I cut the 12″ x 12″ paper into 12 sections of 4″ x 3″

Measurements:
Card Base: Pool Party 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at
4 1/4″
DSP 4″ x3″
Bermuda Bay layer: 4 1/4″ x 3 1/4″
scrap Basic white for the sentiment piece

Using the Stamparatus platform, secure the Naturally Gilded Specialty Designer Series Paper with the magnets on the opposite top corners.
Start at the bottom of the paper and, ink the Blending Brush in the Bermuda Bay ink, starting off the page burnish ink into the paper using a circular motion – repeat process until the color is the tone you desire. The more you apply ink the darker and more vibrant the color will become.

Using the other blending brush in the Pool Party ink pad brush the head on the ink surface and then starting off the page apply color above the Bermuda Bay color line blending into the Bermuda Bay section, leaving a little white on top.

Wipe the excess ink off the foiled areas with a paper towel.

Adhere the Specialty DSP layer to the Bermuda Bay card base piece.

Adhere the layered piece to the top left hand corner of the card front.
Stamp the sentiment onto the small die cut in Bermuda Bay ink and pop up on Stampin’ Dimensionals (after removing the paper from the pop up dots place the ribbon folded in half diagonally on the back of the sentiment piece) and adhere to the card front in the lower right hand corner.
