I started this card wanting to make something for the Stamping with Markers Challenge over at the Moxie Fab World. I have no Copics and am truly uninitiated in the art of coloring with markers, so I fell back on my favorite stamping-with-markers technique: "coloring" directly on the rubber of the stamp before making an impression. When I was first introduced to stamping back in 2004, this is the technique that gave me my "aha!" moment and made me fall in love with the versatility of stamping. It is especially good, I think, on an image with solid regions, like this apple from Stampin' Up's Tart & Tangy stamp set. The sentiment is a clear stamp from We R Memory Keepers.
I'm also playing along with these challenges:
- One Stop Craft Challenge: Love is in the Air
- Wee Memories: Live, Laugh, Love (my card celebrates LOVE with its sentiment)
- Stamptacular Sunday: Food

This is a beautiful CAS card, Emily. I can tell you are happier with this one. It is so cute with that sentiment and the adorable charm.
On clear stamps and solid images (clear or wood), I use my Staedtler Mars Plastic and 'erase' over the stamp. You can then wipe with a baby wipe to get off the residue. It leaves a much more crisp image. O.K., you probably knew that. I read that from Patter at Triple the Scraps. I love her blog. She was only talking about clear stamps but I do the solid image wood ones, also.
Very cute! Love the little apple!! I love the twine you've been using, gonna have to find me some! :)

Emily,this is my kinda card, I absolutely love it. Although I try different techniques with cardmaking CAS would have to be my favourite by far.

Absolutely perfect, CAS card, Emily! Your use of white space is stunning! Thank you so much for playing along, this week, in Wee Memories Scrappy Saturday Challenge!
I like coloring directly on stamps with markers, too. It's fun. Your scored lines, scalloped frame, apple charm and red twine are all such perfect details for your theme. So cute!
Hey Emily! Thanks for entering the Stamping with Markers challenge in the Moxie Fab World! I'm so glad you joined in on all the fun! :)
This is adorable, and my kind of coloring. I don't own Copics, either, and this technique was how I learned back in my Stampin'Up days, too. :)
