I’ve been using this great sparkly pen on several cards
lately. It’s Sakura brand Gelly Roll ‘clear
star.’ I got a couple of them at a
Stamping/Scrapbooking Convention a couple years ago. Stampin’ Up! sells a white
one and a chalk marker that I like as well.
I’ve also gotta tell you about using alcohol ink markers
over white embossing. After making a few of these cards, I really got the hang
of it. The alcohol in the markers really reacts with the embossing powder even
though it’s been heated/hardened and cooled. It’s cool because it allows you to
blend a lot more. It feels like I’m painting! I saw some white rub off on the
light green marker. Just to be careful, when I was finished, I scribbled on a
plain sheet of white paper to get any excess off the marker. Look at the difference between the two below. I made the first one before I realized how easily they blended on top of embossed areas. The second one has more colors and they are blended better.
