Hi Friends! Sometimes I just love to resurrect old stamping techniques and make them new again. Mind you, an old technique to me may be one that you’d not seen before! The technique I’m referring to today is a quick marker swipe card, aka my “One Minute Card“. When I first shared this technique (back in 2013) I used our Stampin’ Write Markers. Today I’m using our Stampin’ Blends Markers and I must say, I do prefer using the Blends! I also added a bit of a ‘twist’ by combining the “Joseph’s Coat Technique” on my card too. I hope you enjoy my tutorial!
