Hello! It's Marika here and I'm glad that you stopped by today. Today is my turn to share three different ways to use Botanical Garden set. Here we go:
I started with the technique which is easiest for me. My intention was to create a feel of a field with wild flowers. I used no-line colouring to get more realistic look and used second generation stamping for the greenery that are more back. I used Altenew Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades Crisp inks for stamping and coloured over the stamped image with copic markers – no pencils used this time – except on the butterfly which I had stamped. coloured and cut earlier. The sentiment was stamped with black pigment ink from Many thanks set. I just love how the font of the sentiment fits so well with those flowers.
Copic markers used: Y21 – YR21 -YR23, YG03 – G24 – YG67.
On my second card I went for vintage look. I stamped the images with ZIG markers onto watercolored card stock and very loosed added shading to the flower. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark from Halftone Hello set onto desert storm card stock and heat embossed it with Vanilla White embossing powder. The sentiment was stamped with Vintage Sepia pigment ink from Beautiful Lady set.
Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers used: Pale Pink – Brick Beige
On my third card, I challenged myself to make card without colouring. Quite a many layers, but I kinda like it. I made the video on this one. Hopefully you'll find it helpful.

Thank you so much, Karen!
Your cards are beautiful. I would love to see a video of you doing colouring like you have done in the first card.
Hi Toni! I have great news to you. I did a similar colouring tutorial on guest video over at Yana’s Youtube channel. Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzGivAp9LOU
Hopefully it is helpful for you. I coloured the first one pretty much with the same technique but I added details only with copics on this one.
Marika,, your cards are just extraordinary! They are all so different and beautiful in their own way. Am I correct, did you apply the Zig markers directly to the stamp, before stamping, on card two? I love the vintage look!
all gorgeous!
Madly in love with the top one — think I will have to wait for a day when I’m very patient for mine to turn out that way!!! Absolutely stunning work!!
