Hello creative friends! Have you seen the newest collection of Hero Arts stamps and dies that have been released? I am really excited about a particular stamp; Antique Rose. I saw this at Creativation and fell in love with the illustration. As soon as I got this in my recent Simon Says Stamp order, I couldn’t wait to start creating with it right away!

My cards today feature a layered, Zig Real Brush Marker coloring technique, which brings additionl depth and dimension to these already detailed florals. In the video above, I share the step-by-step process that I took to create this coloring effect.

After coloring the flowers and cutting them out, I adhered them to cardbases that have some script subtly stamped on, using 49 & Market’s 1787 set. The handwriting from this stamp is actually from a real letter, written in French!

Each card also features some gold or silver paint splatters, a Double Stitch Scalloped die cut frame from Memory Box, and greetings from the Antique Rose set. There are even a few Moonshine confetti sequins sprinkled in between the blooms.

I’m really thrilled with how these cards came together, and I hope they’ve inspired you! I’m always so happy to see you stop by and spend a bit of your day with me; I hope I will see you again very soon, as I will be back with more inspiration for you!

    Beautiful cards! I love that you used both zig and docrafts markers. I’ve been wandering how the docrafts markers perform and if they would do well with the zigs. Thanks so much for the video, I picked up a lot of watercoloring tips, great video!
