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...

Stamped Heat De-bossing (Something Saturday)

 Hi There Creators,

This week my "Something Saturday" video was on Stamped Heat De-bossing, I'm not sure if it's called this but I can't think what else to call it!

This is it, there's no ink used in the saying, just heat embossing powder and a stamp.

 I think it creates a really cool look.

These are the finished cards the top card is the one I actually make in the video

Now that I'm looking at them on here, I'm thinking it would make a really cool tag to hang on a Christmas Stocking!  They kind of end up looking a bit like dog tags!  Or even on a scrapbook layout it would look really great!

Anyway I'm sure if you haven't viewed the video that you're wondering how I've done this.

It's actually quite simple if you know how to heat emboss!

Take your piece of card, wipe it over with your Versamark ink pad, then cover it with heat embossing powder, and heat emboss it.

Then repeat the process so (in my case) the Gold or Copper gets thicker, I've done mine 3 times, then on the last time you need the stamp ready and waiting, while the melted embossing powder is still hot, press the stamp into it firmly.  If you find that you've ended up with a partial image, heat it up again till the stamped bit "melts out" and try again.  I'm not sure how many times you can re-heat it before the embossing powder doesn't like you, but I did have to do this once in the video!

Let me know if you have a go!  I'm putting a link below to all the products I used making these cards, and don't forget until 30th September (not long now) for every $90 you order you do get to pick a FREE Sale-a-Bration product! (bargain!)
