Thoughtful Wishes Thank You Card

Today’s card uses a Multi Color Technique that you can do with our Stampin’ Write Markers. This was a fun technique and one of the first ones I learned when I began stamping. Stampin’ Write Markers are a great value and give you lots of coloring options since they come in sets. This particular card uses our 2023-2025 In Color Stampin’ Write Markers (Last Chance 161695) and the Thoughtful Wishes Stamp set (Last Chance 163305).

I’ve created a quick tutorial for you so you can learn how to create this card and use this fun technique along with a PDF tutorial too.

#OnStage Wrap up –
