And More Block Stamping

This background was made using Tombow markers #873 (light orange), #062 (yellow) and #098 (a yellow-green). Color descriptions are mine-the markers are labeled with numbers only. I really like how my Tombow markers have stayed nice and juicy over the years. I do not have a huge variety of colors. 

I added the color to a large acrylic block, spritzed with water and placed the block onto a piece of watercolor paper. I had hoped to get darker color. For the second card, I went back to using distress inkpads to "color" the acrylic block. 

I sponged the edges with  distress inks: dried marigold, mustard seed, crushed olive and peeled paint over the bottom. I sponged crushed olive distress ink onto my home made hills stencil.

I used crushed olive distress ink when using my home made hills stencil.

For this card, I went back to using distress ink pads on my large acrylic block. For me, I was able to achieve a more vibrant color. Used ripe persimmon, fossilized amber and crushed olives inkpads.
