Card making Die cutting How to Stamping Techniques Card Making
Make the most of alcohol markers in your stash for easy and effective designs. This technique is an old favourite – it’s quick and easy, and produces a different effect every time. What’s more, you’ll have another use for the collection of markers in your stash. For this card, you’ll need a plastic sheet – you could reuse packaging or a document wallet. Simply scribble your markers onto the plastic, mist with rubbing alcohol and let the ink react. Press card on top, then peel away to reveal a multi-coloured background!
