-
Step 1
Ink stamp with an ink pad. Stamp image using a MISTI or acrylic block. Stamp the image on cardstock.
-
Step 2
Clean the stamp, then tap a marker against the stamp randomly to create a pattern. Water based markers work well.
-
Step 3
Continue to "thump" the marker on the image and stamp on the original image until you added enough spots to create a marbled look.
-
Step 5
Finish the card.

I always upload my image in the gallery listed underneath the image. There you find the complete listing of all supplies used.
The stamp is a background stamp from Stampin' Up! called Pretty Petals, the marker I used is Not Quite Navy.

wanted the flowers darker but could never get the right spot.
I love the way you thumped and the tapping and the huffing it is incredible what can be done to make a better showing with our materials we have to use. You are the best!
Thank you very very much for the ideas I LOVE it!!
