Black and Neon card with Gel pen coloring

For today's card I wanted to use this little painting I had made a long time when experimenting with some gel pens. I had drawn a little mountain scene with a Copic multi-liner on some watercolor card stock, colored/painted it in with the Sakura Gellyroll moonlight pens and covered them with spectrum noir clear glitter pen.



To start the card I took my mountain drawing and cut out around the tops leaving the bottom of the  panel to attach to the base which is a piece of 4" x 5.25" black card stock that I splattered with some metallic Gansai tambi paints to create a starry sky effect.



For the sentiment I took a piece of the same black card stock and white heat embossed the 2 lines on the top and bottom. For the "Adventure" I die cut the letter with the My Favorite things Bottle cap letters and colored them with the same gel pens I used on the mountains. I then layered all the pieces of the card popping them up with black fun foam to create some dimension.

**Tip** to get a nice blend with the gel pens color two colors next to each other and with and almost dry paintbrush blend the colors together with a swiping/pouncing motion**
