I only purchased three Shin Han Marker colors, so I could try them out before taking the plunge and buying more.  I love them and they are wonderful to work with!  So yes, I will be investing in more colors, but for now I just have the three.  I'd decided to buy colors that I could use to make Christmas cards, so I got a red, green and blue.  But for this project I wanted to make something that wasn't a holiday card.  So...I designed my card using the Fabulous You Stamp set.
I'm not much of a coloring type of person, but I want to learn!  And I think with this type of art, the best thing is to learn by doing, the more you do, the better you get.  I need more practice, but this is what I was able to do this go-round.
I started off by using the painter's tape technique to establish a background with Flaxen and Glacier ink on Glacier card stock.  Then I stamped in black and colored. 
When I went to assemble my card, I wound up using Snowhaven papers.  Even though this collection is 'snow themed', I think the colors went well with my stamped piece.  Then I finished it off with baker's twine and some bling.
Now "Hop" on over to Carol-Anne Grenier's Blog to see her work. Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas!

Supplies Used:

Yuletide Carol papers

Ink & Cardstock:  New England Ivy, Ruby

Cricut Art Philosophy

Baker's Twine Neutrals

For my card, I just had to use the cute polar bear image!  I cut the shape using the Art Philosophy cartridge, and stamped.  Then I stamped again and paper-pieced the rectangle and scarf over my ruby-stamped image.  I Cricut cut another stamp shape using the green patterned paper from Yuletide Carol.  Lots of layering of cardstock and patterned papers= no need for lots of embellishments.

Here is what the whole set looks like:

I've created two cards using the same design from Originals called "Triple the Fun":

 I chose the flower stamp and first random stamped it in second-generation Glacier on each Colonial White square.  Then I inked it up using Glacier and then rock & rolled it in Lagoon and stamped it in the center of the square.  Here is a closer look (the camera didn't really pick up the random stamping, but it gives a nice subtle effect in real life):

Supplies used:

Pathfinding Papers

Cardstock & Ink:  Colonial White, Goldrush, Glacier, Chocolate, Lagoon

Bronze shimmer trim

Green & Blue epoxy bubbles

And here is the other card using the same pattern with Seaside papers and colors.  This time I chose the camera and 'it's your day' stamps to place in the squares.

  And a closer look:

 Supplies used:

Seaside Papers

Cardstock & Ink:  Sorbet, Kraft, Glacier, Desert Sand

Clear sparkles

Scallop edge punch

Here is what the whole set looks like:
