| 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. |
