One of the techniques shown today used three products that I love, but have been languishing unused in my stash.  What a great opportunity to break them out again.  The products I am talking about are Distress Markers, Stencils and my Compressor.  The technique is called Distress Marker Spritzed Watercolour.

I confess that I had never before used my compressor with any marker other than Copics.  At first I fashioned a tape around the marker barrel to fit it snugly into the Copic spray handle, but it wasn’t long before I figured out a way to hold the marker just right and get it to spray with out the fuss.

I took Tim’s suggestion and decided to try it with a stencil, since I hadn’t used a stencil for a while either.  I tried the Roses stencil and this Treads one.  They both worked beautifully.

I like the resulting card.  I think it is a great, and hard to come by,  artsy masculine card.
