Today I have the second video in the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers Series. This time I'm going some stamping with the markers. The stamp set I chose to try this technique out with is Brushed Florals from Mama Elephant.
At first, the marker pigment beaded up on the surface of the stamps. But with a bit of prep work (watch the video for instructions), I was back in business and stamping the flower stamps with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I used the following Zig colors for the stamping and watercoloring: Carmine Red, Pink, Wine Red, Light Green, Deep Green, Yellow, Bright Yellow, Violet, Purple, and Black. All colors are included in the 48 pack of markers (link below)
I love how soft and ethereal the flowers look. And yet, the bright colors against the black accents is so striking.
I hope you enjoy today's video! I'll be back on Friday for the third and final installment of the miniseries. :)

I love my floral stamps! Sometimes I think I make way too many floral cards but the inspiration I get by watching your videos keeps me moving forward. Bristol paper + Zig markers are definitely the key!
Wow! This video was loaded with all kinds of techniques to "save" a card - "card CPR"! So cool Kristina! Thanx!
Totally gorgeous Kristina. I love the Zigs and enjoy seeing/learning new & different ways to use them. TFS!
Great video Kristina. Really enjoyed all the tips - I especially liked the idea of priming the stamps. I think to many times we all want our sets to look pristine. A well inked stamp is a loved stamp : ) I also like Jennifer's tip of inking the stamp with embossing ink, then wiping it off a little bit.
Such a beautiful card. I really enjoyed the tip about the white on the edge of the letters to make them pop. TFS.
Gorgeous card as usual and appreciate the tip for 'priming' the new stamps too!
I'm so excited for this series. I only have Zig markers, so I'm really excited to see them used so much!! 😊
This is just gorgeous Kristina! And thank you for the priming tip!
Love watching your videos...great tips, especially about priming the stamps...thanks! 😊
Gorgeous card, and great tips, both on using the archival ink to prep the stamps and for using the goache. Thanks!
Absolutely gorgeous card
Beautiful card and colors! Great tip for prepping your stamps. Tfs Kristina
Absolutely stunning, Kristina!! I love how you used the markers for this card. The flowers look so vibrant, yet ethereal. I think that's what makes these markers so special. Well, that and your talent. ;) ♥
LOL. Had to laugh when I saw your comment about being a liar. You are so funny! Love the card and the technique!!!
That watercolour-effect is very beautiful. Love how you unified the look with the splatters, too.
I really enjoyed your tutorial and the card turned out lovely. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for showing your process for a beautiful card. Also thanks for leaving in the problems and showing us how to fix them!!
Very nice card. Good tips on priming the stamps. Thank you for sharing.
Love all these ideas and the finished card is so beautiful!
Once again beautiful card!
I love the card and I really appreciate the water coloring! I love that look and try to do a little bit of it at a time on my cards! Thanks again for all the great information and inspiration! (Peg)
fantastic. love the tip on the archival black ink. I have that already!
Very pretty card.....thank you for another idea using the Zig Clear Brush Markers. I have a set and am always open to ways to use them.
your voice is so soothing! I like to do my projects while listening to your videos ;)
That's so sweet! Thank you!
Love the card, as always, Kristina!! I have done the archival ink trick, but most of the time I use a big wide nail buffer board like the ones used to make nails extra smooth and shiny. The finest grit sand paper words the same also.
Thank you, THANK YOU for the prep info:))) LOVE the look of you ZIGGY coloring on this card!
Great information on the stamps! Beautiful card! Thank you
I've been on the fence with whether I should invest in these zig markers. I will keep watching your series to see if I can make up my mind. Thank you for sharing!
Lovely card and great tips!
Love the card; and ESPECIALLY love when you show how you fix your mistakes! It is so comforting and helpful. Also, thank you so much for reminding me about Tim's tip with Archival ink. I've been using a white plastic eraser to prep my photopolymer stamps to avoid staining, but it doesn't always work as well as the Archival ink.
Just so beautiful!
Love the card and all the tips you gave us. Do not have that black stamp pad all the others but not that one so guess I will be getting it too.
I LOVE this card! I just got some zig markers and I'm loving them, and I'm going to give this technique a try! TFS
Very beautiful! I will try this with my Zig markers. Thanks.
Another amazing card!!!!
Love it!!
love it pretty card I have these Zig color real brush markers, have to practice some more with them.
absolutely beautiful Kristina !
so gorgeous!!!!
Great card! Thank you for sharing.
Great video. Love the tips.
Versamark for prep works too!
Beautiful card thank-you for the video
You can also "prep" your acrylic stamps by running a very fine file over them gently. It "roughs up" the surface a bit which helps it hold the ink. Reminder: DO IT GENTLY. No harsh filing or you will end up with imperfections in your stamps.
Beautiful card and great Tim trick! TYFS.
I learned another acrylic stamp trick from Lindsay (thefrugalcrafter), you can take any pink or gentle eraser and rub it over the stamps as well. I found this to work amazingly. But I'm still going to try the technique you shared here as well :-)
Cheap Emory board, nail file across tops works instantly so solid stamps print more solid. Sorry if someone mentioned, I didn't read 80+ comments. Beautiful card!!
Hi Kristina. I have used Versamark to prime my stamps. it works well for me as I don't have the onyx black ink.
Glycerine is an even cheaper option. Versamark basically is just glycerine plus additives tbf.
Could you use a Signal white pen to outline the letters instead of the white wash? Just curious about options. Your talents are amazing. I always enjoy your videos!
Fabulous
Love this card! I wonder if you have to use black archival ink or if you can use another color in the archival line?
Glycerine works too - save your money ;)
Hello Kristina! Would it have been easier to stamp the sentiment after all the painting was done? Just wondering…
Great card, I learned a lot from watching you today. Can I use water color paper? if your stamps have been used several times, before you use Zig markers do you have to use the archival ink?
This is a totally Awesome and Beautiful card. I have a question about your scoreboard. I am looking into getting one and was wondering if you had a suggestion about a small or full size one. I think I will only use it for card making.
The small one should be fine. :)
Awsome!
Must it be archival ink or can you prime with any black ink? Lovely card today btw, I might get those beautiful flower stamps in the future.
I believe it should be archival ink. That particular ink "sticks" to stamps more than others and I think that's what the surface of the stamp needs. With that being said, I've noticed that stamps that have been used (with any type of ink) work better over time. So personally, I think I'll only use the Archival ink stamp priming method when I have issues with brand spankin' new stamps that I want to use immediately.
You can use glycerine or VersaMark and they do exactly the same job.
can you blend the colors on the stamp then stamp it?
Glycerine works equally well (and is cheaper than Archival), as does an emery board.
Does the priming with the black ink work better than taking an eraser to the surface of the stamp?
Sherri Piechnik the eraser works as well as a nail file, non metal, and gently rub off the top of the stamp...per the frugal crafter on TH-cam
beautiful. is there a difference between Zig and Distress markers?
Yes. They are very different. Zigs have a real brush tip and are much more juicy and easy to work with straight onto paper.
what do you call that black thing with lines?
AMAZING always;)))
Hello,
Can I use stazon black ink to prep the stamps?
thanks
I'm not sure, but I suspect you might be able to since StazOn shares a lot of the same properties as Archival.
Just wondering, but what do u do with these cards? Do u gift it to someone or...?
Send them to family and friends.
+K Werner Design I see :) Must be lucky to receive these beautiful cards made by u :)
like always ... awesome !
Thumbs up!
Hello! I was wondering if you'd sell these cards, this one and the latest happy birthday shaker cards, how much would you sell them for? :) in USD?
No, I don't sell them. I send all my cards to family and friends.
Another thing you can do is take a nail file,the pretty ones, not the metal,and gently rub off the top of the stamp......No more beading of ink. Frugal crafter taught me this.
Kristina, this might be the dumbest question ever asked, but here it goes. How do you line up your tape so evenly on your watercolor paper? The tape is bordering the paper perfectly every time. Mine is always wonky thus distorting my actual work space. When you're done giggling, throw me your secret.
You mean when I tape the paper to the board? I mostly just eyeball it. :)
