One of my favorite techniques is using my Stampin' Up markers to color them. I just ink up any old block with whatever colors suit my fancy.
Then I get them super wet by misting them with water. If I'm working with card stock, I use tons of water, say 10 squirts. If I'm using watercolor paper, I use less water. In this example I was using card stock, so I drenched the block.
Then I stamp it onto a piece of Whisper White card stock. I press down with force to help squish the color around.
Sometimes I let it air dry, but when I'm in a hurry, I use my heat gun to speed up the process! And voila! A stunning bit of background just waiting to be stamped upon.
Tomorrow I'll post some cards that I made using this technique. Give it a try!

What kind of markers would work to ink up the block? I don't have Stampin Up
Love it!! Gotta go try it today!
There are certainly a number of particulars like that to take into consideration. That is a great level to convey up. I provide the thoughts above as basic inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you convey up the place an important thing can be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if greatest practices have emerged round things like that, however I am positive that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the affect of just a second’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives. online casino games
I would think you'd be able to use more water with watercolor paper but want to use less with the card stock so as not to warp it. No??
Woohoo! Love it! Thanks!
Fairly simple but it can make a huge impact or a light background!
