Marks Finest Papers May Blog Hop (featuring Tiger Lily & Tree Frogs)

By

Welcome to the Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company

May Blog Hop! 

This month's New Stamp Set Releases are

 Featured May 15
Tiger Lily & Tree Frogs
Here is my take using these two stamps. The first one is the Tiger Lily. I did the emboss resist tech. One of my favorites and every easy to do. 

  • emboss image with black embossing powder and heat gun
  • pick color markers, for this tech, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Markers work the best.
  • Scribble marker over clear stamp block
  • using water pen (or paint brush) pick up ink and color image.


Next is the Tree Frog Stamp Set:
I used color pencils and OMS for this image. Using Bic markers, I scribbled the green background and did some doodle framing in black.

Hope to see you tomorrow for our last hop project.
