I used the markers three different ways on my card. I first used the Color Spritzer to spritz the card base with Island Indigo ink. For the large snowflakes, I first inked them with Bashful Blue ink and then used my Island Indigo marker to add a second color directly to the stamp. I used the same technique on the smaller snowflakes, except I first inked them with Island Indigo ink and then colored on the stamp with my Basic Black marker for the two-tone effect. For the sentiment, I used markers to color each letter individually. I am not much on fussy coloring of detailed images, so these techniques for markers work great for me!
I used another one of my favorite techniques for adding glitter to the whole image panel. After I die cut and stamped the image, I covered it with a Sticky Sheet then poured Dazzling Diamonds over it. This is a great way to add some bling to a large amount of space. Here is an up close picture where you can see the two-tone stamping, spritzing and glitter a little bit better:
