Sweet Holiday Wishes - Papertrey Ink | Easy Marker Backgrounds


Happy Saturday, Friends! I hope you've all had a wonderful Holiday thus far.

 Today I'm sharing with you a very easy background that you can quickly add to your tags, cards, or other projects if you're in a hurry.

TIP: STENCILING WITH MARKERS
By using stencils you have on hand, along with a few fun marker colors, it takes no time at all to add a little bit of extra fun to your projects! Using a lined stencil, such as the one here, is a quick and easy way to add color with markers. The openings are smaller, so there is less room for error, and coloring is a lot easier when you don't have to cover large surfaces! Just swipe your marker across a few times, and voila! Don't have a stencil? No problem! Simply use a ruler and draw the lines.

Once I had my tag all stenciled up, I added some string through the top, and a couple of ginger-bread people, embossed and stamped. 


I also added a large sentiment, stamped and die cut with PTI's Sweet Holiday Wishes in colors of Raspberry Fizz and Classic Kraft. The tiny holly is also from this set.

    1. It's so fun!! I hope you do give a go! I just find that the stencils become quite colored after a while, but I don't mind. Just means they're well-loved! :)
