From the Magenta blog, more beautiful samples are shown using some of the stamps from their last release. I've copied the post here so you wouldn't have to wade through the French wording; if you want to see that, the link to the Magenta blog posting is below.

"Give wings to your passion

Good morning,

It's almost summer,

so I thought of playing with some sunny colors

and a brand new stamp!

by Jolande van Oosterhout, DT Magenta

The background is made with two colors of Golden's high flow paint.

Wet some paper by misting it with water (use non-gloss and steady paper, the paper shouldn't soak up all the water either).

Put some paint on your craftsheet and mist it with a little bit of water.

Swipe the cardstock through the paints to pick up some of the paint. Mist the painted tag with water to marbleize the colors, keep misting until you like the color. Turn the card a few times to make the colors run. Just try this and discover all the possibilities.

After it has dried, stamp your image with a Catseye black and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.

by Jolande van Oosterhout, DT Magenta

Another sample to give you an idea how to work with the paint,

This is with one of the new masks!

Have a great day Jolande!

Jolande - Magenta DT"

OMG! Here is a posting from the Copic Marker blog that will blow you away. For the folks we call "real artists", aka artists who know how to draw their image(s), here is a watercolor technique applied to Copic Markers and isopropyl alcohol.
