Hello and welcome to my stop on the Colorado Craft release partayyyy! I’m super happy to welcome you here for this little garden party today – be sure to read to the end to check out ALL the giveaways!
My project is complex but simple….I used Olo Markers along with Prismacolors to make a 7-stamp-set-one-layer-card!
Tutorial: Olo Marker + Prismacolor on Colored Paper
If you haven’t tried Olo yet, they’re a marker that I’ve reviewed — and made a hex chart for! While they’re missing some colors I’d loe to see, combining them with pencils really does solve that issue pretty well.
Watch the video below and scroll to the end to leave comments or questions — or click HERE to watch it on YouTube and leave comments over there. I read both dutifully!
A few tips
To set up a layout, just stamp everything in a light ink on desert storm cardstock – let them layer over each other! Pencil and marker will cover most if not all of the excess lines.
Color from front to back; don’t get distracted by the cacophony of stamped lines, just tackle one bit at a time.
Try just one or two images in this technique before this many. It was a bit…overboard. LOL!
Bleed-through
Neenah does allow some color to bleed through; but I did only a limited amount of blending so that was minimal. It was easy to add a layer of desert storm behind the card front, which also gave it a little more heft as a card to survive better in the mail.
One of my Patrons will be getting this card! In the next few weeks I need to get a new batch out. If you’d considered joining our little Patreon band now’s a great time to maybe get in for a card!

Hello Sandy:
I love those cute stamps. I try to buy through your link. it won’t work.

The texture on your card is wonderful. This is such a cute new release.
Love the combination! Fabulous!
I just love how you take stamps and create a scene. Your creativity is amazing!
This is a terrific release at CCC. I love what you’ve shared. I always forget about how much the alcohol mkr colors change on Desert Storm. I tend to use only Prismacolor pencils. I need to try combining them. Thx for the excellent tutorial.
