Today, it's my turn to show you a card that I made with a fun Faber-Castell Product. I am in love the the Pitt Pens! If you didn't get a chance to see my video yesterday, I use this technique to make a plaid background in my Snowman Card Project.
To watch the video, click here: Plaid Background Snowman Card.
Here is another version of that same technique.
I added a dot of gold Pitt Pen along each spot where the lines connect. I also used the pen to create matching gold borders on both my focal image layer and background layer.

Lovely cards - great backgrounds
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely in the gold with the dot where they cross! One question though. Did you use the 1.5 gold pen for the lines and the dot or both?
