Watercoloring with Karin Brushmarker Pro Markers

Watercoloring with Karin Brushmarker Pro Markers

Hello, all! Kristina Werner here. You might have noticed some new markers in the Simon store recently. Brushmarker PRO markers from Karin are dye-based liquid ink markers and work beautifully for watercolor! Today I’m sharing with you a card made using various colors of markers and the new Cosmos Bloom Background stamp.

Watercoloring with Karin Brushmarker Pro Markers

I used two techniques for watercoloring with the Karin Markers. First, I scribbled three different colors on a slick surface, sprayed the ink with water to liquify it more, and then smooshed the watercolor paper into the ink. The colors mixed and melded and created a beautiful, organic background.

For the second technique, I took the markers and colored directly onto the watercolor paper. Then I spread the ink with a water brush. The ink spread out so easily and seamlessly! Practically effortless.

I finished off the card by cutting the watercolor panel with an A7 Layers die from Waffle Flower, and diecut a greeting from CZ Design’s You Da Best die set.

Thanks for stopping by today! You can check out all of the Karin Markers in the Simon store HERE

  1. I really love the colouring – those colours are very pretty and this is such a lovely and different take on the cosmos stamp from the one from Yana, yesterday. They are both beautiful cards!

  2. That is a gorgeous card. I love that Cosmos Blooms background stamp (mine is supposed to be delivered Saturday!). I’m definitely going to give this a try.

  3. WOW! I love the gorgeous vibrant colors and am so glad today’s post was about these markers because I’ve been curious about them for a while. Stunning card!

  4. I always learn so much from watching your videos. This is a lovely card. I would not have thought to color the space in between with blue but it really added contrast.

  5. They look like they blend very well. I would like to try them out–I’m not very good at coloring.

  6. Fabulous card…great double coloring technique. I know I’ll be trying this soon. Love that cosmos stamp! tfs

  7. Beautiful watercolor card using the Karin Markers. Love that it’s a simple technique with great results.

  8. This is beautiful and watching you color is a little mini watercolor class. These markers look interesting, but with all the other watercolor I own, “Do I need them?” That’s probably not the question! LOL!

  9. Interesting. I love how the background was made and then the painting on top. Ill have to check out these markers!! Thanks!

  10. WOW! That card was so amazing. I do some of those things and end up throwing them away before I finish as I don’t like the original. I can’t believe how beautiful that came out. I have some brush markers in my stash that I’ve never used. Also, I have that Cosmos background stamp on my wish list and plan on doing something like that. You inspired me. Thanks!

  11. This card is gorgeous–and to think it began with ink smooshing! I have not heard of these markers before, I’ll have to check them out.

  12. The cosmos background stamp is beautiful and what a fantastic coloring job! Those new markers must be super special! And in the right hands!!!
