Catherine Pooler needs to stop releasing back-to-back cool stamps and such. Lately it’s been a parade of temptation but I’ve been pretty good about not going overboard. At least I don’t go for the “I want it all” bundle that is typically $350 like a few of the other SN members. This last release I just got the background stamp on this card plus a stencil. (Patting myself on the back)
This color combo came about only because of a new-to-me alcohol ink marker - the Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend. I always am skeptical of these tricky type markers but I have to say I do like this kind. All three shades are on one marker by just pulling apart and using the color you want. The three light, mid and dark shades blend very nicely. I picked these three colors up at my LSS and used them on the new background floral stamp.

Re: New Background Stamp Card and Markers
Beautiful card! Interesting markers, although I'm still resisting any and all alcohol markers at this point. I choose not to dedicate the time learning how to properly blend them, which is why I don't buy, but I'm always in awe of those who can!

That stamp is amazing. I bow down to your marker skills. There’s a fridge bin full on my shelf from Cara’s college days (Interior Design students have way better classes than Nursing Students - just sayin’). Maybe some day I’ll pull them out.

Thanks everyone!
I have a (ahem) decent supply of Copics and a small collection of the Altenew markers and do enjoy them. But they do take some thinking when wanting to blend the right colors. These Tri-blend markers really do take that indecision out of the equation. And once you do know what colors to use, the blending really is quite easy though I agree, takes time to do each layer and then go back over it and fuss with it like I do.
