medium of the month: distress markers



March 19, 2014

Cheiron here today with another medium of the month. There is no coloring product I love more than my Distress markers. They come in all the great colors of the Distress line that I know and love and they are truly portable, so I can bring them almost anywhere.
An easy technique to do with markers is to color on your stamps (this works really well with floral or other solid stamps like this whale):
 
Another fun technique is monoprinting, which is great to do with your stencils. I used the tweed pattern stencil here and colored on it with my Distress markers, sprayed with the mini mister and pressed my paper onto it to get a fun background. 
Here’s how it looks on the card: 
And lastly one of the newest tools to use with your Distress Markers…the Marker Spritzer. This is a fun way to give something “extra” to your project or great to use with stencils as well. I used mine to make this coordinating background for my stamped image: 
and added a fun bold sentiment right on top that I colored in with the same colors of markers: 
Hope you enjoyed these fun ideas for using your Distress Markers. Have you tried any of these yet? What is your favorite way to use them?

    Three great Distressed cards. I must say I LOVE the one in which you colored the stencil first, then spritz ..fun way to use up that ink if using the stencil in a traditional way.:)
