Misting With Markers

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

  1. Step 1

    With stamp rubber side up, color the image with a marker.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Continue to color your image with other colored markers until the entire image is colored.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Stamp image on cardstock.

  6. Step 6

    Finished card.

Beate, thanks for doing this tutorial. I am so blessed to have learned this technique AT YOUR HOUSE when you were here in San Antonio! I need to find my fine misting bottles and try this again! You are wonderful!

Beate,

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.

Kay,
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

Good grief, just look at that....All the colors where they SHOULD be, I'm afraid my $1 store "crafting glasses" wouldn't keep me from going cross eyed doing this!!! I have misted before but NEVER on a detailed stamp like this... Thank you for sharing your talents, maybe one day I'll be a big girl stamper like you!

Here I thought I could get away with NOT getting this stamp set.......but was I ever wrong after seeing your tutorial!!! Now I just have to try it. Using the watercolor paper is also fun, we just did it at a technique class I went to at my upliners home. It too is fab. I am a new demo sister and am so glad to have such great fellow demo's out there. Thanks.

Would this work with the stampin' mist bottles or is that too heavy of a spray? (For some reason I ended up with lots of empty ones)

This is beautiful! Which stamp is used in the demo? It's so lacy and the colors blending makes it even more detailed. I've simply got to have this stamp. Thank you so much. I have my next project. Dianne

I just realized that I've uploaded my cards into the wrong area, I thought that "Watercoloring with Markers" was what this is. Now I need to find out how to change them over & their names, if this is at all possible, it is the first time I have been putting photo's up & I have got something wrong. I love what you have done with the tutorial it is great. Any help to help me rectify my problem would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

Another great tip, does it work on silicone stamps, I always find them blotchy when using dye inks of any kind

I am fairley new to this, I love watching all the tuorals & vedio's. I'm told by an ex bff I need to stop watching & stop doing. I'm sure she's correct to a point but I want to learn so much.
I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart.
You are appreciated.
God Bless
