Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share a fun and easy technique with you on how to get multiple colors on one stamped image. This is a super easy technique but looks like you spent hours inking up the stamp or used multiple stamps to create the look. I am going to share with you how to do the markering technique. On my card today I used the new 2020-2022 In Colors and the Prized Peony Bundle. Here is a look at my project.
As I mentioned above this is a super easy technique that just gives fabulous results but there are a few tips and tricks you need to be aware of. So to start this technique uses water based markers. You get the best effect with those. You can use the blends but you take the risk of damaging your blends and staining your stamps without being able to remove the stain. Plus the alcohol in the blends could ruin your stamps. Anyway, the stampin' blends work the best and are quick and easy to do. The hardest part of this technique is knowing where to add each color.
I used the new 2020-2022 In Color Stampin' Blends for my coloring today. I used every one of the colors to achieve this multicolored look on the stamped image on my card. This technique also works best on cling stamps because the red rubber has just a little more grip for the ink from the markers to hold onto. You can do it with photopolymer but it takes a little more effort. I started out my inking up the Bumblebee areas first. You will always use the side of your maker (the brush tip) to ink up your stamps. I then came in with Just Jade on the leaves and stems. I wanted a little shadow to the some of the areas on the leaves and stem so I added just a touch of Misty Moonlight here and there.
Next I came in with the Magenta Madness Stampin' Write Marker and colored in the Peony. I also came back in and added just a little Cinnamon Cider to the edge of the center of the flower where I had the Bumblebee. The Cinnamon Cider didn't show up as much this time as it did in my trail card. But, was something I expected since each time you do this technique you get a little different result each time.

So, as you can see I have a beautiful multicolored stamped image that I didn't have to spend hours inking up with ink pads, no masking areas that I wanted to be a certain color, or ink everywhere on my Stamparatus plates. Some key takeaways to remember are; make sure to use the side of the brush tip on your stampin' write markers, start with your lightest color and work darker, make sure to huff on your stamp to remoisten the ink before stamping down, and the most important tip of all have fun playing.
