Something Saturday - Watercolour Pencils on Black

Image
Hi there Creators Today I'm showing off how you can make the watercolour pencils really pop on a black background. when you use them this way you don't add water or anything else, just simply use them as pencils. This is the first card I made before the video: I've used the Celebratory Sips Suite (see links below) for both of these cards Then I made this one up in the video, and finished it off after, by adding some greenery around the bottom, the sayings and I wanted to create a graduated background paper to kind of give a sunset appearance, so to to that I've brushed darker colours onto the Pumpkin Pie cardstock to deepen it nearer the bottom. Here is a list of the products I used: Celebratory Sips Collection (I recommend getting the whole lot 'cos it's worth it!) but if you don't want it all, then, then in fact the only part I used here is: Cheers & Sips Stamp set Watercolour Pencils Assortment 1 Watercolour Pencils Assortment 2 If you missed the vid...

Christmas Pets Cards for December

 Hi there Creators,

I had this idea forming for some time that it would be fun to do a Christmas Pets series of cards, so the December card pack is Dogs and Cats!

Using the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper, they really are quite cute, I hope you like them!  The "due by date" for booking and payment is the end of day Friday 4th December, as I will make up the kits that weekend.  If you'd like to do the cards in person let me know and we'll book a date, or if you'd rather receive them as a kit to do at home.  The cost for the kit is $25 (this includes written instructions, all card components and envelopes) you'll need an appropriate saying stamp set I've used Joyful Holly, and ink pad, I've used Real Red.

Dogs up first I've added the Sprig punch, and the Gold twine from the Wonder of the Season Ribbon Combo pack,

There's 2 dogs and 2 cats so the other dog one is this one, I loved the idea of the dogs playing with the Christmas bauble lol.  This one uses the other ribbon from the same combo pack, and how cool is the shiny green foil cardstock? I used the Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder to create a bit of texture on it too.

Then moving onto the cats, this one is my favourite card, as I love the disgruntled impression on the cat behind, and the snooty one in front.  I so much wanted to give them antlers, so the sprig punch has been used for this!

And the last card is a cat card too, I know how much shiny ball things tempt the cats.........

And that's it!  Don't forget to order yours/ book a date with me.

I hope if you can't join us these inspire you to create!

God Bless love
