This week I am hosting over at the Mod Squad Challenge. I am calling the challenge Mark It, Stamp It because I am asking players to color a stamp with markers and stamp. This is a wonderful alternate way to use your stamps. It gives a lovely soft, watercolor look. I LOVE it.
Our sponsor this week is Gina K Designs and Stamp TV
Stamp TV is a free online community featuring card making, stamping
techniques and project videos for paper crafters using stamps and other
products by Gina K. Designs. Be sure to check out StampTV for a ton of great videos and techniques. They also have weekly challenges. Shop Gina K Designs.
THE PRIZE
A $20 gift certificate to the Gina K Designs store.
Here is card #1:
For this card I used an older stamp set called Hello Sunshine. This was originally from a STV kit. I used my Zigs and colored the stamp with yellow and green. Then I stamped it on some GKD White Card Stock. I colored and stamped the image 3 times for a field of flowers. The butterfly was colored and stamped the same way.
Here is card #2:
For this card I colored the stamp with a lighter shade and then used a darker one in the middle for more dimension. Shading can add real character to the image.

This looks like a fun challenge. I hope I can join in and I must say your cards are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour challenge is creative as your cards are. There are so many techniques out there, that I often forget about the simplest ones, and they are usually the best. Love the bright yellow on the first one and the softer colors on your second card.
ReplyDeleteThat's a technique I haven't thought of in years, thanks for the reminder. Both your cards are beautiful. Love how you made a field of flowers in the first one.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo Pretty! You can really see the 'water color' effect in your second card, WOW! How clever! Both cards are so happy, love the colors! Fabulous designs and accents....and you always make such perfect bows....I hate you....no, no I don't....but I do have bow envy! lol :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards! I haven't used that technique for a long time. I'm going to have to try it with the Zig markers. Lovely colors!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beautiful, nothing like pretty, pretty flowers, beautiful designs, too!!
