When I took on doing the marker tutorial for Gingersnap Creations, I knew I didn't just want to color with markers. I experimented a bit and here's what I came up with.
Supplies: Alcohol markers, I used
Tria's, a sheet of Acetate, a gold metallic pen, Alcohol blending Solution, a sponge, black
Stazon ink and stamp of choice.
Color markers randomly on acetate.
Add dots of gold metallic pen.
Add small amount of blending solution on sponge and dab colors together.
Blend until satisfied.
Here, I have shown it up against a black sheet so you can see all the blending better.
Flip over acetate so you are on the other side and stamp image with black
Stazon. Let dry completely.
Finish card as desired. I mounted mine on a salmon colored card. Experiment, different colored backgrounds will produce different results.
