Have you seen cards where the images are all different colors… and you wonder how they did that? The trick is using your StampinUP markers to color the images how you want them, then “huff” on them and stamp!! It’s easy as that.
Technique A: Multiple Colors
1] Use a marker to apply ink only to the desired parts of the image.
2] Add other colors if desired.
3] Breathe on the inked image to re-moisten the ink with your breath before stamping onto paper. (this is the “huffing” technique)
Technique B: Omitting
1] To omit a certain part of a stamp image, use a marker to apply ink only to the desired parts of the image.
2] Breathe on the inked image to re-moisten the ink with your breath before stamping onto paper.
You can purchase the SU markers by individual, by “family color set”, or by the whole case. When purchased by the case, you get all 48 regular colors in an easy to carry storage case with handle.
Hurry and get your complete set of the SU Markers in all 48 colors before the Color Renovation hits!!
