Under Your Spell Card 

A Valentine card with a Wizard on it
Under Your Spell Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Under Your Spell Card using Wiz by Mo’s Digital Pencil. 

This past week was Valentine’s Day, and I made this card to give my Hubby. He loves anything fantasy and I thought the Wiz would be a fun card to make for him!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I coloured the Wiz with my Copic markers in magical shades of purples and blues with bright yellow accents. I used my Copic refills in B39 and V17 with 99 % Isopropyl Alcohol to create the mystical auras around him. You can use any colours for this effect, but I picked two colours that draw on the colour scheme that I used on the image.

Background Technique

To create this technique, I worked in small sections to keep the ink wet while I played. I dripped a few drops of each refill making sure that the drops were far enough away from the image since they bled. I also overlapped them which helped with the blending and coverage.

While the ink was wet, I dipped the q-tip into the alcohol and dotted and dabbed through the inks. As I dabbed, I pulled the ink toward the image. The dotting created lighter splotches where the ink was repelled. I re-dipped the q-tip regularly into the rubbing alcohol to push the ink around and dotted toward the Wiz and ground. This section was much more diluted to achieve an effect that the ink was blended out to white. I also added reinker to a glass mat and dipped the wet q-tip into it add more ink in the diluted area.

Background Technique Using Copic Reinkers

Once I was happy with the background, I use Y02/Y000 to push the darker background inks back from my image to create a yellow glow that softens the darker edges.

I added some die cut stars in gold glimmer paper swirling around the top sentiment. A scattering of other glimmer stars helped with the mystical theme.

Glossy accents were added to the mystical crystal ball. I used a gelly roll pen on the mystical lightening arcing from the crystal ball. Clear Wink of Stella was added to the stars on his shirt, the gold band on his hat and the star hanging from his hat.
