Hey y’all! It’s hard for me to believe that it’s already Thursday . . . I’m wondering were my time/days have gone.
A couple of weeks ago the Ranger Distress Markers arrived at my door. I’ve been playing around with them, mainly water coloring. My first instinct is that I don’t like them for that. So far I haven’t gotten excellent results using them to watercolor images . . . definitely not like my Tombow markers. The Distress Markers don’t seem to float with the water the way the Tombow do. I’ll keep experimenting with this one though.
However! I do love them to stamp with. They are definitely excellent to color your stamps with, give them a little mist of water and then stamp the image. A few years ago before all these alcohol markers became so popular, this was one of my favorite techniques. SO, while playing with my NEW toys, I pulled out one of my all time favorite stamps (Penny Black Blush) and made this card.
I used Peeled Paint, Fired Brick, Aged Mahogany and Frayed Burlap markers on the image, misted it with water and then stamped on slightly damp watercolor paper. I have a video tutorial on this technique that you can find here.
After the image had dried, the background stamp from Studio 490 – Live and Mark Art, was stamped over the flower in Old Paper Distress Ink. Hopefully you’ll be able to see it in this photo. I know it’s there, so of course I see it!
The ribbon is white seam binding that I dyed with Fired Brick and Aged Mahogany. (Tutorial here) The image was die cut/embossed with Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals, mounted on Lacey Ovals and then placed over Labels Twenty-Five.
Well, that’s all for me . . . thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous day!
