Bundles of Love with Mansi & Karin Markers

Did you know you could color people with Karin Markers? Have you tried yet? How adorable is this card that Mansi made? Check out the video tutorial Mansi made for you!!!

When I saw this Bundles of Love Stamp from MFT Stamps, I knew instantly I needed to use my Karin BrushMarker pens to color this beauty. I recorded a process video so you can see how easy it is to use the fine-topped pigment-loaded brushes in intricate areas. You’ll also see how I don’t use more than a little drop of ink ... with watercoloring, the number one rule is to allow your water to control the flow of your...

I started off by wetting a piece of watercolor cardstock with a wet brush. I then dabbed paint on the wet watercolor cardstock with a size 12 round watercolor brush. I did not spread the paint, just dabbed in random...

Hello everyone, Karthikha here today, to share a bold slimline card made using beautiful flowers! The flowers and leaves are from Altenew Flowering Cistus stampset.

Rainbow card for Pride Month with Mansi!

Mansi is back today with a gorgeous card in celebration of Pride Month! Take a look inside!

Hi everyone, It's Mansi again with a colorful, cheery post celebrating Pride Month and all that's good about humanity! Rainbows signify happiness to me and I love that these colors are deeply associated with the LGBTQ movement in America, signifying the diversity in the community but also each colors holds its own symbolism: life (red), healing (orange), sunlight (yellow), nature (green), harmony/peace (blue), spirit (purple/violet) Blending the colors in this card signified harmony and unity and the sentiment I chose...

Hello, everyone! Mansi here again, this time with a very different card. Hydrangeas are blooming everywhere right now and I couldn't help but paint some! I took to my Distress Inks again but used them just as I would water colors. The luminosity of these inks blows my mind away...hydrangeas are not easy to paint because of their complex structure, but I found it really relaxing to go over each petal and nurture it to life...slowly but surely all of...
