{Digital Wednesday} Coloring with Markers

Happy Wednesday! We're back with another Digital Wednesday post. Every 2nd and 3rd Wednesday in July, August, and September, we have guest designers sharing their creations spotlighting our digital images either by themselves or together with other STAMPlorations products. We'll draw one lucky crafter to win a $15 gift code -- randomly drawn from all comments left on the Digital Wednesday posts for the month, as well as from the featured designers' blogs.

Today, be prepared to be wowed by Anila Dikay. She made 3 stunning cards featuring our digital stamps, using markers to color them.

    


Here's Anila with her cards:

Hello everyone!! Anila here with another Digital Wednesday feature this week. Today, I shall be showcasing the Dogwood, French Marigold and the Birdhouse - Trio digital stamps. All these beautiful stamps come with a single image, two of which are florals and the third one of 3 birdhouses. 

CARD 1 - Dogwood - Wonderful Birthday!



For this card, I printed multiple images of the Dogwood digital stamp, on Bristol smooth watercolour paper. While copying it, I also resized it, to get the flowers in various sizes. Coloured it with Zig markers and highlighted with Faber Castell Polychromos. I fussy cut all the images and arranged it size-wise, on a white card panel, for a branch full of flowers. The sizing of the images made it look realistic. I stamped a sentiment from my stash. Foam mounted the panel on a Pink card base. Add few sequins to complete the card.

CARD 2 - Sending you Hugs!


For this card, I printed the French Marigold image on a sheet of Bristol smooth watercolour paper. Coloured it with Zig markers. Highlighted the shadows with Faber Castell Polychromos. Cut around the floral image. I have used a die-cut tag in the background, to mount the flower. This was just to create some interest in the background and elevate the flower a bit. a stitched square of the same size as the boxed frame. Foam mounted the tag on a white card base and adhered the flower over it. I stamped the sentiment on a strip of paper, rounded the edges of the strip and foam mounted it vertically under the tag. Tied a twine to the flower. Added few sequins to complete the card.

CARD 3 - Home


For my last card, I have used the Birdhouse - Trio image. I printed the image and coloured the image with Zig markers and fussy cut it. I used a cardstock panel and stencilled the sunrays with Squeezed lemonade distress oxide. Die-cut it using a wonky stitched rectangle die from my stash. After die-cutting, I stamped the sentiment. Foam mounted this panel on a card base. Foam mounted the birdhouses over the panel. Adhered a tiny bird at the top of the houses. Added few heart sequins to the card.

  1. I like how you didn't just use pink on the flowers, but green on the edges. I have SO much to learn about coloring, and this is a cool technique. THANKS
