September 2018 CAS Mix Up Challenge - Ink Your Stamps with Markers

Goodness - it's the end of summer already!  And kids are getting back to school.  It's also time for the September CAS Mix Up Challenge!   Bonnie is our hostess this month and she wants us to ink our stamps with markers!

For my card today - I placed my Effulgent Penny Black stamp in my Misti along with a panel of watercolor paper and lined up where I wanted the image to print.  I colored over the branch bit with  my Gathered Twigs Ranger Distress Marker, spritzed lightly with water and pressed the stamp into the paper.  (If you don't get enough color you can repeat the process.)  Then I cleaned off my stamp and colored over the flower bits with my Shaded Lilac Distress Marker, spritzed with water and pressed the stamp onto the paper again.  

When I was happy with how it all looked, I removed the watercolor panel from my Misti and dried it with my heat tool.

I stamped the sentiment from A Bit More: Butterfly Blooms Mini Set by PTI in black, added 3 tiny punched butterflies and some purple Tiny Twinkles.  I brushed over the butterfly wings with Clear Glitter Wink of Stella.

You will find several links to videos on inking your stamps with markers for your inspiration over at the CAS Mix Up blog - along with creative examples from the Design Team and our talented September Guest Designer - Chrissie (Simply One of a Kind)!  You have until 9/24 to link up your cards - remember to keep them CAS by leaving a lot of clear space!
