Tombow Marker Watercoloring with Kristina Werner – August 2019 Card Kit Inspiration

Hi all! Kristina here with some more card kit inspiration! I’ve seen a lot of amazing cards made using the Panda images from the Party Like a Panda stamp set from the August 2019 card kit, so I thought it would be fun to create a card using other elements from the stamp set! I used only the balloon stamps!

I started by stamping and cutting out masks with masking paper for all the balloons. Then I stamped them close together and visually overlapping. I used Versafine Onyx Black ink since it’s waterproof and I planned to watercolor. And I used Strathmore Bristol paper since that paper works well with watercolor markers.

After taping the piece to a hardboard, I painted the balloons and background using the Galaxy set of Tombow Markers. I filled in the “Happy” balloons with a Molotow Liquid Chrome marker.

To finish off the painting portion, I splattered some white gouache over the sky area to create stars, and added highlights to the balloons using a white Gelly Roll pen.

The very last step was to add a greeting. I stamped and white heat embossed “Happy Birthday” on black cardstock using Simon’s Tiny Words Birthday stamp set and adhered it to the watercolor panel using foam squares.

I hope you enjoy the card today! You can pick up the August 2019 Card Kit HERE, or subscribe to receive this card kit and future kits HERE.

  1. Sweet card – love watching you paint, Kristina – you make this technique so easy and do-able – thanks for the inspiration:)

  2. Such a fun card! I’m kinda new to stamp masking but I’ve got masking paper, balloon stamps and plenty of Tombows so this is a great project to practice with. Thanks Kristina!

  3. Love this fun card. I love Tombow markers and wondered if I really needed the Galaxy set — now I know is do!

  4. Very nice! It is wonderful to see ideas for using the kit without using the main elements. Thank you

  5. What a fun card! I can’t wait to receive my kit, I’m working on BD cards for friends and family for the rest of the year, since my “job” work is slow right now and it gets busy in the Fall. This will be perfect for my card making.

  6. Very interesting technique. Could you have used any other water based pen?
    The card is very nice looking.

  7. Love this cool card, especially the gorgeous colored sky.I have problems coloring the sky & am in awe of yours!

  8. Such a delightful card…like the mylar “happy” balloons. Thanks for sharing this card and helpful video. I enjoy working with Tombow markers so I appreciated seeing how you used them here.

  9. Another great card Kristina! Thanks for sharing this with us as an alternative way to use the cute Panda stamp set.
