CAS Mix Up Ink Stamps with Markers

Time for our CAS Mix Up September Challenge: 

Ink Stamps with Markers hosted by Bonnie.

Be sure and read the introduction by Bonnie.

There are  gorgeous samples by our DT and awesome GD,
Chrissie (Simply One of a kind).

There are also several videos with different techniques.

I used the Stamped Watercolor Flowers by K. Werner using Zigs.

My card using Zigs to color and then stamp my image + Stamping + Die Cutting

I received this Gorgeous Penny Black "Blossom Branch" stamp from my dear friend, 

Loll when at our BC Retreat.  Thank you again my friend:-)

I placed the stamp in my MISTI, then had fun

 inking up the stamp with

my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then stamping on Mixed Media paper.

The MISTI makes it possible to easily restamp your image

until you have the coverage you want.

I used my water brush to move the ink around for blending.  

It is important to move the ink after each stamping before ink dries.

I started by coloring all the green leaves and blending,
then the red flowers one petal at a time and then blending.

Next the blue flowers and blending with water brush.

I find the Mixed Media paper makes the ink move and blend easily with the water brush.

When my image was finished I die cut with Penny Black Antique Frame Die.

Die cut fun foam with same die to give a shadow effect behind image.

Cool Tip from Video

If using new stamp (rubber or acrylic) ink with Archival Jet Black ink

and then rub off ink.  Your Zigs ink does not bead up then.

It is worth watching the video for that tip:-)

You have until the 24th to play along with our new CAS Mix Up Challenge.

Happy early Fall stamping, my friends.  Hugs...
