I was playing around with my new markers last night and I made a fun discovery. Stamp your image with stazon onto vellum. Flip the image, then colour it in on with your alcohol-based markers. The slippery surface of the vellum provides easy blendability (the ink takes a tad longer to dry and is reactivated by the other markers if it does happen to dry). The flipped surface means no reactivating the Stazon! Once the image is dry, you can use either side- the stamped side for a more muted look, or the coloured side for a more vibrant look. I just thought I'd throw that out there for those that may be having difficulty blending with alcohol based markers.
Supplies:
Stamps: Au Naturale, Paper Tray
Ink: Stazon Jet Black
Paper: vellum, white
Markers: art markers (alcohol based)
Tools, etc: bone folder
