Something Saturday - DSP & Blends

 Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show off an idea that Claire our Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Development Manager showed us in a workshop the other day, I took it a bit further in one of my cards, let me know which card is your favourite! If you'd like to see all the goodies I used on these cards click here:  DSP & Blends Turtles Cards Here are the cards I ended up creating The first 2 I've just used the blends to go round each of the images on the designer paper, I really love the way the images get highlighted from it, almost a "stained glass effect" This first card I also used the blend on the white card base under the Designer Paper to give a border This second card I used the Blend around the edge of the Designer paper to draw a line  (I did use a ruler to do this!) again to create a border. Then this last one I've gone round the edges again with the darker Pool Party blend, but then blended in the lighter one in all the gaps. I actually did g...

Cool! watercolour pencils on black card

Hi Creators,
I was thinking about a gorgeous technique I've done before that uses white embossing on black cardstock then you use the aqua painter to add white craft ink to the design, allow it to dry a bit, then add colour over the top, (it's a little time consuming) and I was wondering if I could produce any other ways of colouring on Black card (I'm sure others have done this too, but I haven't noticed it).  So......enter the Watercolor Pencils , yep they're spelt missing the 'u' in the catalogue (it's an American thing!) although its really hard to spell color that way when you're so used to spelling it colour! lol

However moving on if you're a regular reader of my blog you'll notice that in my class this month we're using this technique on this card:
however I decided to make a video on it, and thought I'd use a different set, that doesn't have quite so much to colour in (keep the video shorter).  This next photo shows what I used to make the card, the watercolor pencils, White craft Ink stamp pad,  the Designer Series Paper is the gorgeous Petal Promenade, and the stamp set is Beautiful You
And finally the video itself:
I hope you enjoy it and it inspires you to dig out your black cardstock and watercolour pencils (don't let it get wet on the card, as the colour then sinks into the card, and disappears)
Happy Stampin'
God Bless
Love
