One Class you will not want to miss!  This fun and different technique is done with Copic or Spectrum Noir markers.  I am not giving away tips on how it is done until after I teach it in my classes... Sorry, but it is a sales tactic I am trying!  LOL.. If I give away all my secrets then no one will come to class... I will post a tutorial later!  This one is done with the new large flowers from Stampendous!  I am in love with this stamp set... it comes with both the Hibiscus as well as the Pulmeria (one of my all time favorite flowers)....

Colors:  (suggested)

Spectrum Noir: PP1, PP3, PP, CG1, CG3, CG5, CT1, CT4, GB5, TN6, or1

Copic: Y11, Y15, Y19, E49, E44, YG01, YG13, YG17, YG63, YR24, R81, R83, R85 , YR18, YR12

Borderless images with Alcohol Ink Markers

 Have you ever created something then said "wow" did I really do that?  Well, that is what I said when I finally created these two cards.  It's a technique that I have wanted to try for about six months and finally sat down to give it a try.  I am keeping the tutorial secret until after my classes.. hey... who wants to take a class if they already know how it is done.  I just love the outcome and this can be done with any alcohol markers.  

Visit me at Scrapbooking Made Simple on May 21st to make these fun borderless cards.  Or join me at Collective Journey or Pages from the heart soon!  Watch my calendar for updates... too fun!

colors will be posted for both Copics and Spectrum Noir.

Hugs,

Jennie
