by Beate Johns
Use waterbased markers to add multiple colors to an image.
Supplies
- Waterbased markers
- Water misting bottle
- Stamp here, Essence of Love by SU!
- Cardstock
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
With stamp rubber side up, color the image with a marker.
-
Step 2
Continue to color with the marker until everything in this color has been covered.
It's helpful to start with the lightest color first. -
Step 3
Continue to color your image with other colored markers until the entire image is colored.
-
Step 4
Spray the image with water mist bottle.
The more you spray, the more the ink will run when you stamp.
Hint: Hold the stamp in one hand and the misting bottle in the other, with hands about 12" apart. Spray a couple of times.
You can also spray water into the air first, then move your image through to make sure the stamp doesn't get too wet. -
Step 5
Stamp image on cardstock.
-
Step 6
Finished card.

Do I need to use watercolor paper for this technique? Thanks
I can't wait to begin using this technique on ATC I am making for my Stampin' Up party which I am hostesting next Saturday.
As you can see in my sample, I didn't use watercolor paper. I would not use Whisper White or Very Vanilla because they are too thin. Colored cardstock, Natural or Confetti Cardstock should work fine.
Hugs and smiles
thanks.
