Hello everyone and welcome back to the markerPop blog it’s Holly here and today I have a card for you using the Watercolor Flowers and Written in Watercolor Sets from My Favorite Things.

I stamped the flower images onto a piece of Ranger Distress watercolor cardstock on the smooth side using Distress Ink Markers. The stamp had three layers and the first was stamped with Festive Berries and then Fired Brick and Gathered Twigs. The center of the flowers is stamped with Black Soot. You could also stamp this with the Distress Inks as well… but this is another great use for the markers. The leaves are stamped in Peeled Paint and Forest Moss. I created a soft wash behind the flowers using Stormy Sky. I scribbled the marker onto a clear block and applied it with a wet brush.

Once the inks were all dry I stamped the sentiment from Written in Watercolor using some Black VersaFine ink. Then I trimmed the panel to size. I created a white top folding card base and I added a piece of pattern paper from the Pebbles Happy Day 6×6 pad. I backed the image panel with a piece of Black cardstock and titled each panel and adhered them to the card front using some foam tape.

I wanted to bring in a little more black with any added sparkle so I added some Onyx sequins in 4 & 6mm sizes from Pretty Pink Posh. These sequins are great because they have a Matte finish and are perfect when you want a more subtle look. Tip: If your image is a bit splotchy after stamping onto the watercolor paper you can smooth it out with a damp water brush and it’ll give even more of a watercolor look.

Check out the video to see how I created this look.

Hello Crafters, Valerie here, and I have a single layer card today for my post, using the Paper Smooches Twiggy Florets stamp set and Distress Ink markers.

Paper Smooches stamps, Distress Ink {ValByDesign, 2015}

I stamped the images with black ink onto watercolor cardstock, and heat embossed over it with Ranger Clear Embossing Powder. Then I semi-colored the images with Distress Markers, and used my water brush to move the ink around and color the images.

As a final touch, I painted the images with my Zig Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Pen.

Mama Elephant – Freestyle Florals

Hello everyone and welcome!

It’s Marie here and I am just so excited to share this quick and easy card with you that I created using Mama Elephant’s clear stamp – Freestyle Florals. It’s so much fun and easy to color.

One thing I am really excited to share is how you can step up the stamping by using  the same stamp in MANY different ways  with a simple masking technique.  That’s right! This  technique will open up a ton of new possibilities on how to use those older stamps that you may have and still use all your new ones! It opens up so many endless possibilities for using the same stamp in a million different ways! The possibilities are endless!

I hope you will give this a try.  Take your new stamps and see how many ways you can use it to give it a new look!   Pull out some old stamps and see if you can mask them with one or two of your new stamps!   This can be so much fun and a really great way to keep using all those supplies we have in our craft room and still add the new ones we really want!

Stay healthy and take a little time for YOU!   Craft a little!
