There are so many varieties and brands on the market - water based, alcohol, paint, pigment and permanent markers. Whichever kind you choose, you can use them to color an image, create cool backgrounds, doodle or add journaling. The possibilities are endless!
If you're stuck for ideas, check out Lynn Stevens' fabulous Marker Background tutorial and Hels Sheridan's wonderful Marker Coloring tutorial.
When the challenge closes on August 8, 2010, we will pick 7 Ginger Gems - fabulous creations that we feel really exemplify that challenge's objective. The Ginger Gems will appear in our wrap-up post and in a slide show in the blog bar for an entire week and their creators will have the honor of displaying our Ginger Gems blog badge.
For your chance to be eligible as a Ginger Gem or as a Home Page Artist, just follow the simple guidelines below:
1) Make a paper crafting or mixed media creation using markers
2) Post your creation to your blog or online gallery with a mention and link to this post; and
3) Come back to this post and leave a comment including a DIRECT link to your creation or use the linky application below. Remember to make it a link to the specific post or picture and not just a general link to your blog or gallery. We need to be able to find your art!
For more information on our challenges and directions on linking, please check out our FAQ page.
The randomly drawn winner, who will become the Home Page Artist, and the seven Ginger Gems will be announced from the qualifying submissions on August 10, 2010. You have until August 8, 2010 to enter!

Oh what great samples! I did something new (for me) with my markers. I airbrushed my first piece.
ReplyDeleteBetter later than never!!! Love the DT samples! I don't really like playing with the water base markers and will someday brave it up with the alcohol based markers!
ReplyDeleteHi again girls. Entering again...LOL. but I just love my Promarker pens..... :) Hope you like my entries to your challenge.

I love working with my Copics. However, I think I will quite using 3-D embellishments as they keep the scanner from giving a good pic.
