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!

Gorgeous card Sherry!!!!!! Enjoyed the tutorial on youtube. While there, watched a couple of others as well. Sorry about the surgery you had, but glad you are staying on top of it. My husband has gone thru this several times. Just got to be careful and try to stay protected while out in the sun. God Bless and many thanks for all you share with us.
