Hello Crafty Friends.

Today I’m sharing seven ways to use glitter brush markers in to create stunning card designs. I’m using the Scrapbook.com Glitter Brush Markers for my cards today. Glitter brush markers are watercolor markers with glitter inside! They come in a wide array of colors and you can see all of the markers by clicking HERE.

Pictured below are the cards I made using glitter brush markers.

If you would like to see how I made my cards, you can watch my video below or on YouTube.

For my cards, I used Scrapbook.com’s brand new Heavy Weight Mixed Media Paper Pad. The paper pad comes in white and black cardstock and is perfect for all kinds of mixed media projects. The paper is thick (400 GSMs) and very smooth! This paper holds A LOT of water and the markers blend beautifully on it.

I started off by creating backgrounds with the glitter brushes. I couldn’t create just one background so I created several. The markers spread beautifully on the paper. The colors are so vibrant and the glitter is absolutely stunning!

To create the backgrounds, I colored the Scrapbook.com Glitter Brush Marker from left to right across the paper. Next, I used a Pink and Main EZ Flow Water Brush to blend the colors.

Once all of my backgrounds were created, I started to make my cards. Let’s look at some ways that you can use these backgrounds with cards.
