Unfortunately I can only use fairly lightweight paper in my printer as it is one which turns it to bring it out the way it goes in and this means I can only colour with pencils or use very little water if watercolouring and inevitably it usually cockles a bit. I decided to try my alcohol pens this time and it wasn't bad but there was some bleeding in a few places which meant that I had to fussy cut rather than leave a bit of white around the edges. It was very fiddly but I got there in the end with just one cut where there shouldn't have been one..lol, but I managed to glue it all in place on the white background card using a Zig Two Way Glue Pen with a wide nib to spread it on as it does not wet the paper too much, but if you take too long it becomes repositionable which is probably what happened as I spent quite a bit of time going back over the bits that didn't stick properly but I got there in the end.
I finished it with a matted layer which I coloured round the edges using one of the green alcohol pens I used to colour with, and I added a sentiment in the centre of the heart using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink heat embossed with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder. I also used a fine Black Micron Pen around the edge of some of the image where I had cut it a bit tight and lost the black edge..I think it just cleans it up a bit.
Thank you for your visit today and I'll see you again soon.
