I love the stamp set, but I had the idea when I first saw it to make this card! So, today I am going to share with you all the technique of stamping with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens! I found out some tips through trial and error. When stamping with these markers, you need to spritz the stamp with a spritz of water. Otherwise, you will get an extremely splotchy image. I have included an example below. I used marker #044 to stamp with.
To layout this card, I decided to stamp my sentiment first so I would make sure I knew where to stamp all of the pine branches. I stamped the pine branches around the sentiment all in one go, and then I stamped the branch after I finished the pine needle stamping.
Now, earlier I know I said to stamp with the spritz of water, But I decided to not stamp the brown branches with water. I stamped them just coloring on with the zig clean colors, and I got quite an interesting effect! Just a tip if you have a small image and you want it to stay pretty solid. To stamp the branches, I used marker #062.
After I finished the card front, this is how it looked!
To back the card panel, I decided to use a kraft card base and then a green dot patterned paper. These give the card a more homey and rustic feel, in my opinion, and it just looks well with the card!
This is the finished card!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! This was a rather simple card, but I think it turned out well. Thanks for the stop by to view the card! See you for Day 3 next week!!
