January Stamping ChallengeKinda dusty in here....sorry!!!For January I'd like to see anyone try to use their markers with their stamps. NOT AFTER you stamp the image...before!! Instead of inking up your stamp with your ink pad, carefully ink the image with different markers (i.e. a flower use your green marker on the stem, pretty colors on the bloom)!! Questions? Just ask!!!! |

Oh Lisa, how perfect!!..I was thinking of doing this because it's been years since I used my brush markers..I wouldn't be surprised if they were dry.. ..

This sounds great! It's something I have aways meant to do and never seem to do it! | ||||

i think there are some 'brush markers' you can use that make it really easy. i think they're "felt tiP" maybe.
i'd love to do this, but i don't have markers. i am looking forward to seeing what you gals come up with though. |

NO worries!! After applying ink to all areas just "huff' on your stamp (hold it up to your mouth and breath on it...kinda like when you were a kid and made a breath mark on a window.) this gets the ink moist again and will transfer nicely... |

Did you know you should store your markers horizontally, not vertically?? This will prevent messes and drying... |
||||
| lisa9er |
yup...brush markers work the best. I really LOVE the Stampin Up dual tip markers, the Marvy ones are nice too! |
