Marker Thumping Card!


One more Mother's Day idea!!!
Supplies: Thoughts & Prayers Stamp Set, Wonderful Favorites Stamp Set, Pac. bl, Pink Piro., Baja Breeze inks and cardstock, Pretty in Pink-Glorious Green-Certainly Celery Markers, White cardstock, Scallop punch
1. To get the different colors on the tree stamp I used the Thumping technique. I used the long, flat side of the markers and thumped onto the rubber stamp. Begin with the lightest color (in this case pink and work to the darker colors) I finished with the Glorious Gr. marker and colored the trunk and branches with it. REMEMBER to huff (a warm breath) onto the stamp to re moisten before stamping it onto the white cardstock.
2. I stamped the tree again in Pink Piroutte ink to give a background to the pink cardstock.
3. Layer white cardstock with Baja and Pacific cardstocks and adhere onto pink cardstock.
4. Use scallop punch to add detail to the bottom of the card.
