This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment.  
Whatever the crafter has chosen as their "element" will be featured in their post.

CTMH Technique Blog Hop - Marker Madness

Welcome to the March Technique Blog Hop!


For the March CTMH Technique Blog Hop, we will feature the use of CTMH Markers.  CTMH carries the Shin-Han Markers in 24 colors plus a blender marker and two metallic markers.  I'm excited to see the variety of paper crafting ideas produced using Markers that we will find on this  hop.  
 If you are coming from Haley Dyer you are on the right track.  In case you get lost, you can also get a complete list of participants at the bottom of Melissa Robinson's blog. This month we have approximately 10 Close to My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using Complements along with a variety of other great CTMH products.  To enjoy this hop is quite simple to do - just click on the link at the bottom of the post on each blog to move to the next one.

I used the Heartfelt Hello  stamp set for quick and easy card.  This heart is an easy item to color with our markers.  At first, I found the markers intimidating, but "No Fear!" They are really amazing markers.  Here's a "how-to" 10 minute video by Jill and also a link to create the CTMH exclusive colors with the ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ markers. 
Paper:  Seaglass, Kraft CS and White Daisy
Ink:  Black Momento - HEAT SET!
White Shimmer Trim - colored with markers
Silver Sequins - colored with makers.


Now, hop on over to Danielle Wagner
