Colorful Watercolor Backgrounds with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers

Morning, all! Today I’m playing with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Yes, Zigs! It’s been a long while since I used these awesome markers and I have to tell you–I missed them! Such fun, vibrant colors! I paired my watercolor backgrounds with two brand new stamp sets from Simon Says Stamp: Incredible Woman and Good Job Mama from CZ Design.

(Wondering what I used in this video? Everything is linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this post, or in the text below. Compensated affiliate links used when possible).

I created both watercolor backgrounds on Bristol paper and then stamped images from the stamp sets in VersaMark ink to white heat emboss them.

For the greeting from the Incredible Woman stamp set, I stamped it multiple times and then cut the words out individually. Then I adhered them to the card front in a mix and match fashion. The texture behind the words was added by running my white card base through a die cutting machine with one of the Gemstone embossing folders from We R Memory Keepers.

The second card was much simpler. After embossing the stamps from the Good Job Mama stamp set, I adhered Darice Crystal sequins (in 5mm and 8mm) with Connect Glue. All finished!
