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!

I better get some OLO markers.

Your coloring is a great different take on others in this blog hop – darker – richer- craft paper – I like it! well done
Of course, youve made the best bunnies with your full-on coloring! This created the most interest. What a difference. Real artist here. Thanks for sharing~
Adorable veggie critters…. love your coloring. We all want to color those bunnies and hamsters like you!!!! When I grow up, I want to color like…..practice, practice, practice!
Overboard poo! Super fun. I am beginning to think I just need to be your neighbour! Maybe you’ll send me extra creative talent due to proximity! So glad I found you via 3C! Take care!
Sandy, I love that you did this as a one layer card. I am impressed that you could use all of the sets on it. The desert Storm paper really gives it a different look. I have only colored with colored pencils ones or twice on colored card stock.
Sooo cute!! Love them all combined and colored!
Okay, as usual you have taken this little stamp set to a whole different level. So very cute, I would love to receive this card in the mail!
I love the card. Thanks for reminding me about how great white pencil looks against Copics on Neenah Desert Storm. It’s one of my favorite looks and I haven’t done one in a long while.
Cute as can be! These critters are just adorable, and I love the way you colored them!
Love seeing use of different coloring techniques.
As usual, you took these stamps to the next level. Love these fluffies!!!
Hi Sandy–thank you for sharing this creation, and thanks also for presenting your works of art in a way that makes me think that I may be able to do it, too.
Wow! What an amazing coloring job! But you do that anyway. Love the card and the release!
I’m a subscriber who has always admired your coloring, but I must say you really outdid yourself with these adorable Anita Jeram stamps. What a great design duo you are!
Darling card! Love how you used so many of the figures and made them all.look different! Thank you for sharing.
I always enjoy your cards. I love your coloring and they always inspire me to try your techniques. Thank you
