Happy Monday! I hope it is 🙂
Lots on CAS cards on my blog lately, here comes another one, that I’m especially happy about! Funny how The Wonder of Watercolor challenge in the Moxie Fab World slipped me, I haven’t noticed it being on until earlier today, by sheer accident. It’s no secret that I love the watercolour look of all sorts and was instantly hit by a good couple of ideas. My choice fell on the Memento markers that I shamefully forgot about for long months. I remembered the beautiful effect they produce, being used in a direct-to-stamp technique. So, I took one of my detailed floral stamps (Flamboyant woodblock from Penny Black) and coloured it in using five different markers. Stamped it on a piece of white cardstock and voila! Here’s the result.
I love the effect so much, I’ll be looking into getting more Memento markers in near future! Can you imagine the possibilities?? This slightly watery, artsy look they give, while at the same time keeping any details you want, doesn’t it just make your heart skip the beat? 🙂 Another thing I adore about them? The colours mix in such a cool way, you can experiment with ombre! Just look at the big orange & pink flower.
My card happens to fit the current CAS-ual Fridays challenge as well (CFC99).
It’s beautiful! I have neglected my memento markers for quite some too, but seeing this card makes me wan to try this technique right this moment!
Beautiful card!Love the colors…
Absolutely gorgeous!
Beautiful, love the colours! Funnily enough I used a memento marker yesterday - nothing as elaborate as this beauty though 🙂
This is absolutely stunning!!! I love, love, love watercolours as I used to be a watercolour painter, they are so delicate and beautiful an I think it’s amazonia that you have made a marker pen behave in the same way - fabulous! I don’t have any markers, maybe that should go on the wish list!! 🙂
…that was supposed to say ‘amazing’ not ‘Amazonia’ but apparently my phone decided to ‘correct’ my spelling! Oops! 🙂
what a beauty, Chupa! amazing colors and coloring. have to give this technique a try. thanks for the inspiration! =)
So beautiful my dear!! Love all the different colours! I don’t have these markers but I am thinking of investing in some watercolour media of some kind soon - these might end up on the list if potential items, lol!
Wowza Chupa! This is such a stunner! I LOVE the look of those markers, just gorgeous! Thank you for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
