Colorful Chameleons

This week the Stampendous® Design Team is celebrating Christmas in July with Chameleon™ markers. Chameleon™ Art Products is a company determined to change the way you think about marker pens. They pride themselves on having developed real innovation that enhances your ability to maximize your creativity. Their markers bring color control and simplicity to your art, and you can create stunning 3D effects, smooth transitions, highlights, and shading gradations all with one pen.

When you combine this simple coloring versatility with Stampendous® and House-Mouse Designs® images, you can create fantastic projects quickly. Stampendous® stamps are beautifully enhanced by the simple blending made possible with this range of innovative markers. The colorless blending tool acts as a “foolproof” finish for your project. You won’t believe the stunning range of colors that can be achieved with these markers, and the array of original projects you can create with the combination of Stampendous® and Chameleon.™ Here’s my project for today:

I absolutely love using the Stampendous Color Fragments and Shaved Ice. I really enjoy mixing the colors and creating my own unique color combinations. They're perfect for adding texture and visual interest as well as a fun way to tie colors together.

This is what I used to create this card:

Stampendous:
W152 Whispered Wishes
SSC1231 Holiday Expressions Perfectly Clear™ Stamps
SSH38 Small Perfectly Clear™ Acrylic Handle
MEM01 Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink by Tsukineko®

FRC19 Amethyst Color Fragments
FRC18 Teal Color Fragments
MPW811 Mixed Media White Paper

Plus:
Chameleon™ Markers (BL3, OL3, YL2, RD4, YG3, OR4, GR3, BG4, BR5, PK3, YO3, V04, BK4)
Memento™ Teal Zeal Ink Pad by Tsukineko®
Pixie Dust Purple Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®
Aqua Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®
Tim Holtz® Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass by Ranger®
Zip Dry™ Paper Glue by Beacon Adhesives

This is what I did to create this card:

Stamp image, color and trim as shown.

Create a 5” square card base from aqua cardstock.

Stamp snowflakes in a random pattern with teal ink on aqua card base.

Trim a mat with purple cardstock for main image.

Adhere all layers.

Add melon glitter to hat and sweater.

Mix fragments with shaved ice and adhere across bottom of image, tap off excess.

Set aside to dry.
