Colouring Images With Alcohol Markers

I have been colouring images with alcohol markers for today’s cards.

This blog hop is part of the monthly schedule of blog hops by the Crafty Collaborations Community, which consists of Demonstrators from around the Stampin’ Up! world.

This month the theme is Summer Fun.

Filled With Fun Bundle

To create my cards I have used the Filled With Fun bundle, which is one of the Online Exclusive products. This fun photopolymer stamp set and die bundle features a variety of images as well as a little pull along wagon that you can choose to put them in. There is also bunting, balloons and hearts.

Also in the Online Exclusives you can find another stamp set, Filled With Cheer. This festive stamp set also coordinates with some of the dies from the Filled with Fun dies.

You can see a full list of the products I have used at the end of the post, including links to my online shop.

These little pull along wagons shout of summer activities, whether using them in the garden, taking them to the beach or on camping holidays or to festivals. All things we like to get out and about and do when the weather is warm (hopefully).

Colouring Images With Alcohol Markers

For this first card I firstly stamped 3 of the flower images in Memento ink onto Basic White card and coloured them with Lemon Lime Twist, Bubble Bath and Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends.

The wagon was then die cut from DSP taken from the To Market pack. There are 2 dies in the back that can be layered up to create the wagon. There is lots of woodgrain texture in the side bar piece.

The white card base has a Bubble Bath mat. The Basic White mat the wagon has been adhered to was first blended with Balmy Blue ink. Then a black frame was created using the Deckled Rectangle dies to frame the cart. The little adhesive dots come from the Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots pack. Finally the wagon had a bow of blue twine added to the front.

Bright Birthday

For this second bright and bold card, the bottom section of the wagon was cut off so that it looked like a table. This table is loaded with presents and cake and these were all stamped in Memento ink. The top of the central present was first masked off before the balloon strings were stamped in.

The chocolate cake was coloured with SU200 Stampin’ Blend and Bubble Bath icing is dripping down the side.

The presents, balloons and flag are coloured with combinations of Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight and Azure Afternoon. These colours are carried over into the bunting and the hearts.

To give the balloons an extra fun 3D element, they were covered with Fine Tip Glue and it was left to dry.

I hope you have enjoyed my project. Do leave a comment if you can, because it certainly makes my day. Then it is time to hop around all the other projects

How Can I Help?

I had such fun playing with this little bundle. I’m sure I have lots of other images from other sets that could also sit in this little wagon.

I hope whatever you are doing to enjoy the outdoors, the weather is being kind.

Meanwhile stay safe and stay well
