Hello & thanks for stopping by... Today's card is for this weeks Color Challenge "CC202" over at Splitcoast. The challenge colors are: Regal Rose, Bravo Burgundy & Kiwi Kiss. For more inspiration with this color combination, check out the CC202 Gallery.My card measures 5 1/2 x 5 1/2. I bet some of you are wondering how I did the branch?! I inked up the whole stamp and turned it over so I could see the inked rubber. I then took a wet q-tip and wiped off the kiwi kiss on the flowers and buds. I then took my regal rose marker and inked all of the flowers and buds. I then took my bravo burgundy marker and colored on just the edge of the flowers and buds. It's a little work, but well worth it! Maybe someday, Stampin' Up! will come out with markers for their in-colors!!
If you give this technique a try, I would LOVE to see your beautiful samples. Just post a link here in the comment section so I go and check it out!!
Have a wonderful week,

Very pretty...and yes it was worth the extra effort...I always thought it weird SU didn't make the in color markers too! I read somewhere about making them yourself with blender pens and reinkers. Have never tried it though.
Jen this is so beautiful! I loved love what you did with your markers! That so makes your image pop! And your sewing is so beautiful on there!

Just beautiful Jennifer. All that stitching just finishes the project off. And the wild flowers have been coloured perfectly. Hugs from Desire
