We are also giving away a COMPLETE BUNDLE to ONE winner who shops through the affiliate links of the designers to buy from us. They will get one entry per order. We will pick them and email them privately. You can shop through my link here!
These stamps are so fun! They require absolutely no effort to put a scene together which I love. My card is all one layer with no masking required. I did a little ink blending for my sky and then got started coloring!
I used a combination of both Sketch Marker Brush Pro and Copic Markers to pull my scene together. If you aren't familiar with Sketch Markers you can check out my video here. In order to get my water to blend I concentrated on overlapping my colors quite a bit. I even used my colorless blender to add in a few more bubbles!
I love the bright pops the seahorses provide to break up all that blue. This was so fun to color.
You can see the entire process in the video below. It's a long one so feel free to hop through and then come back :)
Your next stop on the hop is my amazing friend Michelle Lupton.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
