NEW TECHNIQUE WITH DISTRESS MARKERS

Hi Everyone,

Over the weekend, I was having a look at different techniques in card making and papercraft.

I came across one that was called: "Distress Marker Background". This makes an ideal background for your cards or can be used to make embellishments for your layouts.

Items needed:

• Kaszazz Diamond Background or Chevron Background Stamp
• Perfect Medium Inkpad
• Watercolour paper
• Puff Static Away! Pillow
• White Embossing Powder or Black Embossing Powder
• Heat tool
• Mini Mister filled with water
• Distress Markers in your choice of colours

Method:

1. Using your Puff Static Away Pillow, wipe over your piece of watercolour paper.
2. Stamp your background stamp using Perfect Medium Ink.
3. Pour over the White Embossing Powder, and tap gently to remove excess powder.
4. Heat stamped image with the heat tool.
5. Colour in unembossed areas of your stamped and embossed image using the distress markers.
6. Once you have finished colouring in, use your mini mister to spray water onto it.You will see that the colours blend nicely when doing this.
7. Dab excess water off with a paper towel. You can dry the image with a heat tool if desired.
