Stamping with Markers…with Julie!

Hi everyone! This morning I’m thrilled to be sharing a video from the one and only Julie Ebersole! Julie has such a knack for teaching — she educates, makes you say “aha!”, and makes you smile…all at the same time! Today she’s showing us how to get more from our supplies by using water-based markers to ink and stamp our images.

Card by Julie Ebersole. Find complete supplies and instructions here.

Isn’t the shading and dimension on that flower fabulous? Love it!

Here’s a little recap of Julie’s tips for successful stamping with markers:

• Always start with lightest colors, then add darker colors, to avoid cross-contamination and keep your markers clean. If you happen to get a bit of darker ink on your lighter markers, brush against scratch paper until clean again.
• Hold the marker with the brush nib parallel to the stamp surface to achieve broader strokes of color.
• Don’t worry if the ink dries by the time you are finished coloring; re-moisten the ink by “huffing” (blow warm breath of air) onto the stamp just before impressing to paper.
• Try “thumping” darker marker colors over the top of a base coat of lighter colored marker for a fun and different effect

   Love your video. Thanks for the tip. I tried this on rubber stamp and it work pretty well for me. I’m having problem using this technique on acrylic stamp though. It gives more of a watercolor look than crisper image I get with rubber stamp. Any tips on using this technique on acrylic stamp?
