YES! I Colored with Alcohol MARKERS on Dark Gray Cardstock!

[@kirriesummers5219]

Both cards are beautiful, Therese. My curiosity was particularly active as you coloured on the gray cardstock, and your suggestion of swatching in the cardstock was critical to your beautiful success. Thank you for sharing. 🥰🇨🇦🥰

[@lostinpaper]

Oh thank you Kirrie!

[@SuperRocketdog1]

Oh you rascal!! 😂😂 it was an eye opener seeing how you did these cards..brilliant job! TFS🥰🥰💕❤️👍👍🐶🐶🇬🇧

[@lostinpaper]

hahaha you totally made me laugh out loud!

[@LizBgood]

Oh how I love your cards and ideas!!! It is always a treat for me to be able to sit down and watch you're a videos!! I can't wait to try this myself!! If I had my way I would sit for hours and just watch you! I appreciate all the work and effort you put in to these videos! Thanks

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you so much Elizabeth, you are so sweet!

[@tracychambers19]

Wow that is stunning.... maybe I'll be brave and give it a go. What's amazing to me is how the highlight on the gray cardstock reads as white.... love it 💙

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you so much Tracy, I was tempted to add some white pencil highlights, but decided just to stay with the markers for this video.

[@icardeveryone01]

Bet you can guess who ADORES the grey?? Absolutely stunning, Therese! =] x

[@lostinpaper]

Yay! Thank you Michele!

[@janmarch5039]

THANK YOU for reminding us there are lots of options out there…I don’t think I would have even thought to color on that shade of grey, and yet, it is so beautiful! I always learn a new shading technique when I watch your coloring video’s. That little bit of the darker blue around the yellow center really made it pop!`. Thank you again, I know I really appreciate you sharing your lovely soft voice and your artistic abilities with all of us! 8:57

Thank you so very much Jan, I am very happy you enjoyed the video!

[@LittleLaneCraftswithRachel]

I never knew you could colour on dark cardstock with alcohol markers! Mind blown! Your cards are so beautiful and expertly coloured. Thanks for sharing.

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you so very much Rachel!

[@dfmlees]

Both are great. It’s amazing how different they are. You did a wonderful job.

[@lostinpaper]

Thanks so much Doreen! 😊

Love these cards, never thought to colour on darker card stock, will definitely hive this a go. Thanks for the great video.

You are so welcome, glad you enjoyed it Karen!

[@pennywarren2357]

Oh my! Just stunning! I love the muted colors! Tyfs!

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you so much Penny!

[@pennywarren2357]

I've watched (and followed) this tutorial so many times now. I just love it! Would you make another video on using dark cardstock please? Love, love, love your channel!

[@lostinpaper]

Great idea, thank you Penny! Did you want more alcohol markers or were you thinking other mediums too?

[@pennywarren2357]

@@lostinpaper Thank you for responding! I'm still in the learning process with other mediums, but I'm trying my hand at watercoloring also. You're the best!

[@janellegraham8896]

Oh my! This is really hard to see easily (colouring on the dark grey). Beautiful cards and a different look for using alcohol markers - but I couldn't use cardstock that dark. My poor old eyes wouldn't handle it. Love, Janelle 😘

[@lostinpaper]

hahaha I totally hear you, that is why I coloured on the white first, at least I knew the image lol.

[@vickimilyard4131]

I gave it a try 😊 but used a lighter gray card stock and I loved it! Thanks a bunch for the great tutorials!!

[@lostinpaper]

Wonderful! I'm so glad you enjoyed it Vicki, thanks so much for letting me know!

[@traceylandt9026]

Gorgeous Therese. Thank you for sharing. Take care T x

Looks lovely!! The muted colors work so well.

Thank you Monica! 😊

[@patticallihan8515]

Therese, Happy New Year to you my darling and your family for 2023. WOW. I love your flower on the grey cardstock. I would never of thought of using markers on to colour. It’s stunning your card they both are but I love the grey. I have the new markers so I will have to give it a go. You are so talented. I hope you are having the lovely weather now and getting out with your fur babies on the beach 🏖️. Take care Dear Therese see you soon. Big hug 🤗💕🐨🦮🐕‍🦺🐈‍⬛🏊‍♀️

[@lostinpaper]

Happy New Year to you Patti, I hope 2023 is kind to you! Congrats on the new markers, I hope you have fun trying this techinque. And yes, we hope to get to the beach today and maybe grab some fish and chips, so I'm looking forward to that! Hugs Tx

[@amyswares]

So cool! What a fun idea!

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you Amy! 😊

[@barcelonachair6487]

So Gorgeous! I love the Grey cardstock, it reminded me of a William Morris print.

[@lostinpaper]

It does! I just looked him up and you are absolutely right!

[@barcelonachair6487]

@@lostinpaper It is amazing that his work wasn't an influence for your project. So much talent! Happy New year!

[@mccseq]

Love the look on the gray paper! And , of course, the white is beautiful, too.

[@lostinpaper]

Yay! Happy New Year my friend, I hope 2023 is kind to you!

[@lynnehill8635]

What a surprise that grey cardstock image was. And so lovely. Thanks Therese, you've inspired me to try using other colours than just white or kraft or black for my card bases.

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you Lynne, I hope you have fun trying this technique!

[@juliebergacker5680]

Wow!

Happy new year to you to my friend!!

[@reneecassidy7279]

Beautiful cards, Therese! Your coloring technique is something I would aspire to, but my hands just don’t work that well anymore. Makes me want to try it more though!

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you so much Renee, you are the sweetest!

[@jeannebeam3042]

Both cards are beautiful! I have alcohol markers but they are a disaster in my hands! I wish I could use them as well as you. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@lostinpaper]

It did take me a little while to get used to them, just start small and easy! I know you can do it Jeanne!

[@joycespooner]

Beautiful cards, but not sure about the colored card one. Ages ago I made a card using water cardstock and using alcohol markers. It looked quite good. I was pleased with the end result

[@lostinpaper]

I can't remember trying alcohol markers on watercolour cardstock.... it sounds like fun!

[@lorie1508]

Very interesting look! Did you double stamp the grey flower? You always make colouring look so easy. Beautiful cards.

[@lostinpaper]

Normally I would double stamp. But this time I only double stamped the white panel and I wished I hadn't, I thought it looked better before so that is why I added the splatters.

[@tammyb6497]

Happy New Year Therese! Very beautiful cards! I do not own any alcohol markers (gasp!) but I love seeing what others do with them.

[@lostinpaper]

Hi Tammy, if you colour with pencils you could try the same technique with them!

[@CazkiwiNZ]

On dark, looks like someone forgot to turn the lights on or tapped the iPad screen to darken 😂 It’s playing tricks with my brain

[@lostinpaper]

hahaha it is kinda weird I agree lol. But such fun to do!

[@rennieneasey-oconnell6064]

Keen to try the colouring, but no spattering for me! 🫣

[@lostinpaper]

Yes, spattering is a very personal thing, sometimes I am in the mood and other times no way lol. Thanks somuch for your lovely visit here today Rennie!
