Coloring with Karin Markers - Reason to smile

What is your favorite kind of coloring medium? I definitely love using my copic markers, it is always so very soothing for me coloring a stamp and bringing it to life. Also a favorite is since a few weeks my Karin markers, and for todays card I mixed and matched them both with this floral  card as result

For this card I stamped only the rose and leaves from the “reason to smile” set. I stamped the rose 3 times the pointy leave twice. I colored the rose and the leaves with my copic makers. For the rose I picked out purple and therefore I used the copics:V17, V15, V12 and V01. For the leaves I picked out YG97 and YG95.

After I cut all of them with my embossing machine I started with the background for this card. Therefore I grabbed some aquarelpaper which is already in a rectangle shape and my Karin markers. I created this background by putting some strokes on the paper and blended it out with a very wet brush, I used the colors 226 lilac, 281 olive green and 357 pale orange. With my heatgun I go back and forth using the Karin markers.

When I was happy with the results let it dry completely and arranged the flowers and leaves in the middle of this card. For the sentiment I used the same set “reason to smile”.I finished this card with some sequins and gave this card a background
