| VELLUM PAPER –One of my
favorite uses for the Adirondack Markers. Stamp
and emboss your image on vellum. Turn the paper
over and color the back side of the vellum with
the pens. Blend out color lines as well as
adding shadows and highlights in coordinating
Adirondack colors using your finger or nib.
GLOSSY PAPER –These pens
work great on glossy paper. Both permanent and
non-smearing this allows you to stamp and color
images on glossy paper. Try brayering
backgrounds with Adirondack Pads, stamping in
Archival Ink, and accenting your stamped image
with the Adirondack Markers.
FABRIC –Create accents for
your art projects using Adirondack markers on
fabrics. Stamp image in Archival Ink, color
image with Adirondack Markers, even accent and
outline your image with the pens. Turn fabric
over and heat-set the back side using a hot iron
for a few minutes. This sets the ink making it
permanent and washable. You can also accent your
quilts, and batik fabrics with the palette of
colors only found in the Adirondacks.
DOMINOES –One of the hottest
trends in the stamp world today. The Adirondack
markers can be applied to dominoes directly and
blended using a nib or your finger. Also try to
“blitz” the color on using a marker Blitzer
found in your craft store. Color the tops,
sides, and more with the Adirondack Markers.
Heat setting these pens provides immediate
handling ability. Stamp your images in Archival
Inks or Décor-It, heat set also.
ACETATE –Create the look of
stained glass with the adventurous colors of the
Adirondack Markers. Stamp your image with
Décor-It on acetate and color the back side of
the image with the pens. For added texture try
crumpling up tissue paper, covering the back
side of the colored acetate with Glossy Accents,
and then laying the tissue over the top. Turn it
back over and you have a textured marbled
background.
SHRINK PLASTIC –Finally the
perfect marker for shrink plastic. Stamp your
image with Archival or Décor-It inks. Color the
shrink plastic with Adirondack Markers, but be
sure to color lightly as the colors WILL
intensify once the plastic shrinks. The look is
bold, colorful, and most of all permanent.
WOOD –The Adirondack Markers
provide a wonderful palette for coloring on
wood. Stamp image with Décor-It or Archival ink
on your wood project. Color the image with
Adirondack Markers and wood burn the design to
highlight your work.
METAL –With the altered look
being so popular, stamping on metal objects has
become such fun. Try stamping on Aluminum with
Décor-It ink, embossing with a stylus tool, and
coloring your stamped image with Adirondack
Markers. The colors come to life with the
reflection of metallic.
SCRAPBOOKING –Of course the
Adirondack Markers would be complete if you
couldn’t use them on scrapbooks right? The
archival, non-toxic, acid-free abilities of
these pens make them a must have. Use them for
journaling, outlining, stenciling, and more. |
