Swimming By with Some Cool Looks From STAEDTLER!

So... I am on the STAEDTLER design team... and LORDY... they have been good to me! They sent me a package a while ago and it contained these STAEDTLER Watercolor Markers from Marsgraphic Jr.So being a card maker... I got out the stamps and here is what happened and how...
I stamped this little Mermaid onto some watercolor paper with STAZON ink. I knew I had to use that ink because this was gonna be getting wet!
I colored near the edge of the image and used a brush to move the color around and "paint" with it. Then I cut her out and adhered her to the front of this card. I created the opening with a nestie.

I made the underwater scene for out mermaid friend by using a piece of cryogen white paper and coloring with the markers and making seaweed looking squiggles. Then, I used a water brush to move the color again and this is the result...

Here you can kind of see the sparkles in the water that come from the paper I used...
So that is my project... don't be limited by just using alcohol ink markers or being afraid to try other types or paper...or adding water! It is just paper,after all and some "mistakes" can be the best thing ever! Thanks for popping in!
