Video: Combining Liquid Watercolors and Alcohol Markers

Hello crafters! It's Kelly Taylor here and I'm so excited to share this card combining mediums with you today! I used my Hero Arts Liquid Watercolors with my alcohol markers to really help the Artichoke Arrangement shine. I did use the Artichoke Arrangement Bundle for this card for added dimension. 

You can watch how I did it below or on the Hero Arts YouTube channel.

I stamped the image in  Intense Black  ink on our Luxe White Watercolor Cardstock.  I sprayed the paper with clean water and then laid down a soft watercolor background over my image using Moss , Dark Teal , Mulled Wine , and Dandelion Liquid Watercolors. 

Once the background was dry I went in and colored the image using various techniques including stippling and color glazing. When I finished coloring the image I die cut it out. I adhered the negative piece of background flat to an Eggplant  cardstock card front using  Precision Glue . I then popped up the arrangement on foam and adhered it right back into the background. 

For the sentiment I stamped using our Clear Embossing and Watermark Ink on some Eggplant  cardstock before heat embossing with White Detail Embossing Powder.  Lastly, I wanted to add some shine so I painted our White Iridescent Shimmer Mist in specific areas. 

Thank you so much for joining me today!
