Nathalie Métivier started in her childhood to draw and exhibit her work. With her sister Hélène and Daniel, her brother-in-law, she helped, in 1992, to create Magenta Rubber Stamps. One of her many tasks was to be part of the creative team. She drew many of the images as well as she invented the “direct-to-paper” and the “Ghost” coloring techniques. She appears several times on the Carol Duvall Show, a famous American craft TV show, as well as on Magenta’s own videos. She is co-author with Leslie Conron Carola of the books Magenta Style Paper Magic and Magenta Style Paper Enchantments. As she likes to share ideas and techniques with others, she is teaching Cardmaking and Mixed Media techniques. Lately she came back to her first love: making her own cards and selling them.
