Hello everybody! Heidi here to an exciting post! This week we are celebrating our design team here at Marker POP, so we have a week of giveaways! I understand fall hasn’t even started yet, and  you will see more fall projects from me, but the reason I have a holiday post today is, because… today’s giveaway is the adorable “toboggan together” stamp set by Lawn Fawn. I want to get you set for the holidays, so I chose this stamp set and I’m sharing some inspiration so you can get ready for this giveaway!

All you have to do to win is, leave a comment in this post and then hop to my blog and leave another comment so you have two chances.

Let’s look at the project that I made for today and I will be telling you a little bit more about it

For these goodie bags I used the “Toboggan together”, “Ready, set, snow”, the “goodie bag” die, the “stitched snow hills” “Lawn trimmings” twine, and papers from the new “Let’s bokeh in the snow”

I also used some of the new green Lawn Fawn ink and I loved the way it stamped on those pine trees!

I colored all the images using Copic Marker and adhered them to the goodie bag using foam and liquid adhesive

Copic Markers I used: BG0000, C1, C5, C7, C9, E31, E33, E35, G02, G05, R20, R24, R27, R37, R81, R83, R85, YR04, YR68, and White gel pen

We will be offering a $25 Gift Voucher to one one lucky winner from Paulina’s Hop!

5 of our designers are participating, so let’s get to it and see what their crafty hands did with Watercolors!

Marie‘s card is stunning with the colors she chose, and the water she misted onto it to give it the gorgeous splattered effect; she’s using watercolors and Mama Elephant.

******************************************************************

How sweet is Heidi‘s card?! Lawn Fawn is the name of the game here, and they worked beautifully with the Distress Ink she painted on for the background.

******************************************************************

Laura turns heads with this gorgeous scene using a Magnolia image; the colors all look so amazing together, and I am LOVING the vine & flower dies she used!

******************************************************************

A+ on this one by Carisa, where she’s using WPlus9 stamps and dies; the beautiful background is a combo of Distress Inks and gelatos.

******************************************************************

Valerie has a lot of Mama Elephant on this fun & sparkly card, and she had fun with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads for the background watercoloring:

Hi everyone! Carisa here with you today and I am so excited to be participating with MarkerPop! in the Pretty Pink Posh Watercolor Blog Hop today and after I sent in my card, I thought I would create a video sharing how I created my watercolor background using Faber-Castell Gelatos and then creating a card with that background by using my Copic Markers to color my images – who says you can’t combine watercolor and Copics?! In fact, I have seen this type of technique used quite a bit and loved it because I have to admit, I’m a bit of a compartmentalized crafter. If I am using my watercolors, I tend to stick to that and same goes for Copics – it was flying against the wind for me to put this card together, but I honestly love how it turned out and don’t be surprised if you see this more from me!

Here is a close up of the cute little critters from Paper Smooches Party Posse stamp set. Seriously, they just make me smile and they are looking pretty awesome all stacked up in all their Copic colored glory against that beautiful watercolor background! Do you see that I used the same brown color combination throughout each image on different parts? I learned that from the amazing Sandy Allnock and it seriously is a brilliant way to tie together different elements on your card when you are building a scene or just using different images together like I am. I will definitely remember that tip from now on.

Of course, what is a card without some Clear Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents as that perfect bit of subtle embellishment. I even threw caution to the wind on this card and added some twine and gorgeous Pretty Pink Posh sequins – I have DEFINITELY been bitten by the sequin bug for sure! I can’t seem to create a card without them lately!

And as promised…here is the video tutorial showing you how I created the watercolor background on this card and the one for the Pretty Pink Posh Watercolor Blog hop. I hope you will find inspiration from my video and join in the blog hop starting tomorrow!
