I love learning and teaching new techniques and this is a great one! I have seen the Misted Marker technique many times but recently I saw a card and tutorial from Cindy C. and I knew I wanted to replicate it to teach it to you all! This technique can be done on card stock, watercolor paper, window sheets, and vellum. Personally I love the translucency of vellum and the look this technique achieves is stunning! Different every time and delightful to make!

My main sample today is a slim line card – I love the look but rarely think about this size so today I tried it out!

Measurements:
Base: Basic White 8 1/2″ x 7″ scored at 3 1/2″
Basic Black layer: 8 1/4″ x 3 1/4″
Basic White layer: 8″ x 3″ embossed
Basic White CS for hearts 4″ x 5 1/4″
Adhesive sheets for hearts 4″ x 5 1/4″
Vellum Layering Designs for hearts 4″ x 5 1/4″
Scrap Basic Black CS for the sentiment

Depending upon how many images you want to cut or punch out from the vellum – size accordingly. Cut the 3 layers for the hearts to the same size. For examples sake I am using 4″ x 5 1/4″. Remove one side of the protective backing from the adhesive sheet and adhere it onto the Basic White CS piece, peel off the other side and adhere the Vellum on top of the adhesive sheet (right way facing upwards away from the sticky side!)
Take various Stampin’ Blends and make random scribble marks across the entire vellum adhered surface. Make sure to cover the entire area.

Spray the vellum inked surface with Isopropyl Alcohol and using the Heat Tool push any access ink around until it dries.

Lie the vellum flat if it curls and place something heavy on the vellum to stop the curling and straightening it out.

Using the Country Bouquet punch – punch out as many larger hearts as you can.

Take the Basic White layer measuring 3″ x 8″ and run through the 3D Painted Texture embossing folder twice as the paper is longer than the folder.

Fold the Card base in half at the 3 1/2″ score line and adhere the Basic Black layer to the base.

Because the next layer is filled with texture from the 3D embossing folder , I used Tear N Tape. Adhere the Painted Texture layer to the Basic Black layer.

Pick five hearts in a similar color palette or those in a color gradient and arrange them on the card in a design of your choosing.

I stamped the Something Fancy sentiment in Versamark on Basic Black CS and sprinkled white embossing powder over the stamped image. Using the Heat Tool, I melted the embossing powder and allowed it to cool, popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered it to the top right hand corner.

I added some rhinestones for the fancy and that completes the first card!!

I had extra hearts prepared in the same way and I could not bear to thrown them away, so I made a few more cards!

This next card starts with a Basic White card base cut to 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″.
Sentiment stamped and die cut from Something Fancy. I adhered this sentiment piece to the center of the card and arranged the hearts around the piece. I added Sweet Sorbet ribbon for a little sparkle.

This card begins with a Crumb Cake Card stock base, a crumb Cake layer measuring 4″ x 5 1/4″ embossed with Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder and popped up with Dimensionals. Cut one inch strips of Crumb Cake Card stock to create a tone on tone background by punching the smaller hearts out. I needed eight for my design. I punched the Label Me Lovely punch from Basic White and added the Something Fancy Sentiment in Sweet Sorbet. I added the smaller hearts in a pattern above the Crumb Cake layer. Pop the sentiment onto the Stampin Dimensionals and twist the Sweet Sorbet Metallic ribbon three times around your palm and cut it off the spool. Flatten out the ribbon and attach under the sentiment piece. Pop up a smaller heart over the Misted Marker heart and adhere that down to the left of the sentiment.

This last card using the Misty Marker technique using one heart and four of the leaf images that got punched in the process. The card stock is the Shimmery White and measures 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″. I cut another layer of Shimmery White card stock to 4″ x 5 1/4″. I adhered the “leaves” to the back of the big heart. Stamp the sentiment in Orchid Oasis in the top center of the top layer and using a Blending Brush to add color to the middle of the top layer. Adhere the Heart punch to the center of the ink circle on the card front and add 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots for the embellishment!

Such a fun technique! Try it soon and go out and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!!

Happy Stampin’
