Totally Techniques Blog Hop – Blend Techniques

Totally Techniques

Welcome to the August Totally Techniques Blog Hop! We are featuring techniques with alcohol markers today – OH BOY! I wasn't sure where to start – there are so many cool things you can do with our Stampin' Blend Markers! I LOVE THEM! So after a little research I chose alternating photos to make beautiful cards!

Blends & photos - fun technique. www.AStampAbove.com

You'll find a video tutorial here that shows you how I altered my photos with a fun technique using STAMPIN' BLEND ALCOHOL MARKERS:

It's all about BLENDS today! WHOO HOO! I love Stampin' Up! alcohol markers – there are so many things you can do with them…so many techniques!

Coloring on photos is something I did several years ago – I was so happy that I stumbled on this technique again so I could share it with you. One tip I forgot to mention in the video is to get one of your photos in duplicate so you have a photo to test out your marker colors.

This Fresh Freesia card is so pretty. The coloring on the photo is very subtle, but just enough to make a soft and pretty sympathy card.

I used the strip of photo that I cut off for the front, on the inside layer – that's really cool right?

These are so easy and so pretty right? I encourage you to take some nature photos or find some you can use on the internet, send them to your photo processing center and create some black & white photos so you can make up sets of cards as gifts – my mom is going to LOVE these!
