Step 1: Stamp the image on watercolor paper with Staz-On black ink. Select Spectrum Aqua markers and add ink to a paint palette (or any slick surface).
TIP: When watercoloring, I either use Staz-On ink or pigment ink and heat emboss with embossing powder.
Step 2: Using a water brush, begin with Desert ink on the face and Chocolate ink on the hair on top of her head, neck,tail and feet.
TIP: If the ink is too dark, add a bit of water and dab off with a paper towel. If it is too light, add more ink directly from the marker and blend with the water brush.
Step 3: Using the Fawn Spectrum Aqua marker, add color directly to some areas of the stamped image.
Step 4: Begin blending with a water brush.
Step 5: Once the Fawn ink is blended on the giraffe, add Chocolate ink to the spots with a water brush.
Step 6: Continue adding ink to the various areas with a water brush until you are satisfied with the result.

Lovely watercoloring on the giraffe Kendra! Thank you for posting your pictures which markers you used and how you completed the process!
Kendra, nice lesson on water coloring with a water brush. You make it look so easy everyone should try it.
I just started but I love it... Fun,fun,fun! Now when I have a Dr.'s app I can pack some stamps and some markers and even a little palette. Love those water brushes and so far... No leaks!

Very very very cute, Kendra! Thank you so much for the step by step on how to create your amazing cards using this coloring technique
Adorable card! Love your coloring!

I especially like your choice of "kraft" as a main color for your Genevieve card. She is still whimsical, but a bit more serious than the cards that us "fun colors."
Lovely card! Thanks for the tutorial.

It's adorable! Thanks for the "how to," too.
Awesome coloring and I love it mounted on the kraft background!
