Stamping with Markers

To create the leaf images below I applied Stampin' Write Markers directly onto the stamp, starting with the lightest color first.  When I was ready to stamp I simply breathed hot air onto the rubber stamp (like I was trying to fog up a window).  I sponged old olive and chocolate chip ink over the card stock and the image.  The spots were created by flicking water onto the tag and drying with a heat tool.  Further below you will see different variations on a technique to use markers for watercoloring.

Stamping with Craft Ink

The technique for Day 5 was to stamp with a white colored stain.  I chose to use Stampin' Up's whisper white craft ink as a substitute for the stain.  The colors on the tag were applied with a sponge and the spots were created from drops of water that dried on the tag.  The images were stamped using StazOn and everything was heat set using a heat tool.
