VIDEO: The Daily Marker Collaboration

Happy Leap Day everyone! Today I have a fun collaboration for you with the talented Kathy of The Daily Marker.

Not too long ago, Kathy and I made plans to try and do a monthly coloring collaboration. The idea was to color the same image - her with Copic markers and me with watercolors.

We chose to start with the Beautiful Bouquets: Ranunculus stamp set. This is the perfect stamp for those times when you just want to focus on and enjoy coloring. The arranging is already done and you can just stamp and color.

Watch above or watch in HD at YouTube

See what I mean? As mentioned in the video, the watercoloring of this card took about 20 minutes. But, if you wanted to go even simpler...the one below has less layers of detail and only took about 10 minutes.

Deceptive, right?

I hope you enjoyed today's projects and please be sure to stop by Kathy's to see her take on this image with Copics!

EDITED TO ADD: When we chose this image a while ago I did not anticipate it would be sold out. I'm so sorry! But, they are on their way back in stock and should be available again in about a week. So if you are looking to grab this one, you can sign up to be notified by email as soon as it becomes available again here.

  10. Beautiful. I wish I just had a pinkyful of your talent. I think I tend to use images with thicker lines and get disappointed. I was looking for which brand of brushes you use and their sizes, but didn't see them listed.

  32. Such beautiful work with a beautiful stamp. What else can I say? I was interested in one of the comments above about using stamps that have thicker lines in the images. Now I'm going to have a look at some of my favorite image stamps to see if that does make a difference when heat embossing before watercoloring. I do hope that is a secret so I can do maybe half as gorgeous coloring as you do. Thank you for letting us see your techniques by filming a video. Very enjoyable.
