Watercolor Marker Painting (Mama Elephant Wild Meadow)

Happy Monday, all! Today I have another card made using new stamps from Mama Elephant. I used the Wild Meadow stamp set and colored it using watercolor markers.

(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 stamped one of the large border stamps using VersaFine Onyx Black ink on Bristol paper. Then I started watercoloring the image using Arteza watercolor markers. Using Bristol paper makes the marker ink blend and flow. It really is a game changer! If you haven’t tried Bristol with your watercolor markers, you’ll want to try it as soon as you can. :)

Using the Nested Circles dies, I die cut the painted image. I also stamped a small greeting from the stamp set and trimmed it out.

The card base was made using Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and then embossed with one of the Geometric Next Level embossing folders from We R Memory Keepers. I then adhered the circle watercolor piece to the card base using foam adhesive.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed the card. :)
