Spring Birthday Cards


I did go to the Polka Dots shop rummage sale.  There wasn’t much at the rummage, but I succumbed and bought 2 water color markers to try.  So to make birthday cards, I stamped a pretty tulip stamp and colored them with my new markers. 

The brand I bought were the Tim Holtz Distress Markers in Fire Brick Red and Walnut Stain.  They make fine tulip colors.  I wasn’t overly thrilled with the markers.  They dry very fast, making it difficult to wash the color into a water color affect.  I may have to try some other brand, as I did like the end result.

I tried stamping and coloring on cardstock and on manilla file cards.  The file cards are from a resale shop and had a price tag of 50 cents on them.  They are wonderful.
