Sunshine in my pocket

Using Zigs to Blend

August 9, 2019 Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m excited to bring to you a couple cards using beautiful florals designed by Alex Syberia. These florals are exclusive to the Hedgehog Hollow August box and they are gorgeous! I have had a few requests to show how to blend with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers….and so I’m combining the two!

Here’s a look at my cards:

Vibrant Colors from these watercolor markers!

I have a video showing you the process and how to get such vibrant colors (hint: I don’t use water at all! Only the Zigs). Watch the video below or on YouTube:

This August box will sell out fast, so if you love beautiful florals that are so very fun to color, go check out this box soon!

Ink blended background

I gold heat embossed the images first, then colored with the Zigs. For this first card, I ink blended a background using Distress Inks and makeup brushes. I love this look. I used the Zigs on the flowers and fussy cut them out. Then I popped them up using foam tape.

Three colors of green, Three colors of pink

Now I know sometimes the ink blending on the background either takes too long, or maybe you don’t enjoy ink blending. This beautiful flower looks great on a patterned paper background, too!

I’m often asked about the supplies I use to make my cards, so I’ve compiled a list for you here, using affiliate links when possible. When you purchase using these links, I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with my blog costs and continue to bring you fun projects. Thank you so very much!

I really hope you love these cards as much as I do. Sometimes a photograph just doesn’t do a card justice, and I think that might be the case with these! I love just how much they POP in real life! Thank you for stopping by.

May your days be filled with sunshine,
