ICAD DAY # 4


Today's stamp was a digi-stamp by the Greeting Farm: Mermaid Anya.  I have all types of stamps, including digital ones.  I love digital stamps, because you can re-size them to whatever size you need or flip them the other way.  I had colored her a while ago with Tombow Dual Tip Markers just to practice shading.  I love how vibrant the colors are on her tail.  Both her and the donuts from yesterday are the full strength of the marker, I didn't use any water.  You can really get a nice bold bright happy colors from them or you can make them a little more tame by water coloring with them.  

This week has been totally about those Tombow markers.  I am going to use Distress Markers next week.  I love the Distress markers as well, because they are not so neon and bright even at full strength.  One of the reasons I bought the Tombow markers was to have a set of markers that are very bold saturated colors. It just gives me so many options when I am coloring my stamps. 

I just love all the techniques and versatility you have with water based markers. 




I added some glitter water bubbles behind Anya with some Tulip Beads in the Bottle.  I just fussy cut flowers out of some designer paper that I thought also kind of look like sea shells.  I did pop Anya up with foam tape.

I just wanted to use her in a project for a long time and think was the perfect one.  

Happy Crafting!
