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...

 Hi There Creators My classes in April are marginally disrupted with Easter, the Maryborough Class has moved forwards to 1st as otherwise we'd be meeting on Easter Saturday, which might not be the best move!

Something Saturday - Black Ice

Hi there Creators, Today I'm showing off this Black Ice technique, all you need is silver foil cardstock, stazon black ink and a stamp set. The basics of it is: stamp carefully onto the silver foil with Stazon Black ink (the stamp will tend to want to move slightly when you stamp on foil), allow to dry then drag the stazon ink pad across the foil card.   You end up with a sort of aged looking Sepia/Black & white image, I think it's really cool - let me know what you think 😃 Here is the card I made up before the video, I thought the Heron Habitat stamp set would look good with this technique, reminds me of old Chinese pictures, I ended up using the Heron Habitat bundle (dies and stamps) as I do love the gorgeous tags in it, and thought the long wave type die would look good on the side   Then this piece of foil is the one I actually stamp up in the video, and this is how I made the card with it, there are actually 3 different foils in the Silver Foil Specialty Pack, ...
