I tried something new with my markers this week. I took a big piece of masking tape and colored on the sticky side. I then pressed it down onto glossy cardstock and burnished it with my hand before pulling the masking tape up. I love how it turned out!
I hated to cover up so much of it, but I had to follow the sketch. I will definitely be trying this technique again. It was super easy and has tons of possibilities! Too bad they had to go and retired my glossy cardstock! Luckily I had some saved aside in case of an emergency like this. lol I also used my markers to color my ornament before stamping it.
