Beautiful & Soft Watercolor Resist with Tombow Markers

Hello all! Welcome back for another card video. Today I’m using two new stamp sets from Simon Says Stamp‘s latest release. These happen to be two stamp sets that I designed for Simon: the Cora Background stamp and Mom and Dad Icons stamp set. You can see the entire release HERE.
I first stamped and white heat embossed the Cora Background on Bristol paper. Then I used some soft colors of Tombow Markers to add color. The embossed lines resisted the color, leaving behind the intricate stamped lines with color surrounding it.
For the main greeting, I stamped “Mom” from the Mom and Dad Icons stamp set with the letter O replaced with the baby carriage image. I used silver heat embossing powder and heat set the images until smooth and melted. Then I used the same Tombow Markers to paint the images.
The light gray banner that says “Congratulations” was created by painting the gray Tombow marker color onto the Bristol paper and stamping and embossing the word over the top.
To finish the card, I adhered everything to some Fog cardstock from Simon Says Stamp.
I hope you enjoy today’s card!
