Following in Keesh's footsteps

Back in June, Makeesha showed a great tutorial for stamping with markers - you can see it here - I tried it out and decided to add a sprinkle of Dazzling Diamonds to the Crystal Effects and it looks lovely - difficult to photograph, but lovely non-the-less :)


Stamps: Inspired by Nature, Think Happy Thoughts

Cardstock: Orchid Opulence, Whisper White,
Ink: Mellow Moss, Bashful Blue
Accessories: Orchid Opulence Marker, Chocolate Chip Marker, Always Artichoke Marker, Designer Label Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, Crystal Effects, Dazzling Diamonds, Sponges

After applying the Crystal Effects to the flowers, I used a fine paintbrush to pick up the Dazzling Diamonds and gently tapped the glitter over the glossy surface which gives it a lovely sparkle.


It's quite difficult to get a good photo of the glittery effect - I hope you can make it out in this pic.

Crystal Effects tends to lighten the colour of the ink that it's applied to so my flower ended up looking pink rather than the Orchid Opulence it started out as - but that's ok, I like it anyway :)

Have a happy day
