I tried my hand at water coloring with Tim Holtz distress markers for the first time. I wasn't going for a perfectly colored look, on the contrary, I just kind of slapped some color down and called it good. I wanted a little more artistic feel. I realized after the fact that I forgot to pick up some Archival ink when I made a run to the craft store today, otherwise the black stamped image wouldn't have been a little smudgy.
SUPPLIES USED:
- Amanda Havon
- Christine Okken
- Cindy Lawrence
- Heather Jensen
- Julie Koerber
- Maki Jones Designer Focus this week on the Flourishes blog
- Stacy Morgan
- Tosha Leyendekker
I used the square sketch at Mojo Monday for my card design.
Thanks so much for stopping by,
Heather
