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...

Stampin' Blends (in the normal way)

Image
Hi Everyone, Well I know I wrote about the new Stampin' Blends the other day, but can't resist sharing some more creations with you! The "normal" way is where you use light plain cardstock (I've used Whisper White , stamp an image with Memento Black ink , and start colouring) As one of my favourite sets is Remarkable You Stamp set , I've gone with the flowers from it, I'll start with my favourite, the Lilies: this one uses the Daffodil Delight combo blends , Calypso coral combo Blends, and the Pumpkin Pie Combo Blends , and of course the Old Olive Combo Blends for the stems! Next up the waterlily type flower (I'm sure someone will know what it is!), this one again uses the Daffodil Delight, but then I've used some Pink Pirouette to create the delicate colour in the bottom of the flower, then some Old Olive for the stems again..... And moving onto the last flower in the stamp set, reminds me of a magnolia flower (although I'm pretty...

Eureka Stamper Challenge Day 6

Image
Hi Everyone, Woo hoo made it to day 6!  This one was to create something with our favourite current Stampin' Up! item (something that if it went missing we'd really miss!)  Oh my goodness what a condundrum!  I made something, but then of course looked at what others had said, and thought oh yes I'd miss that, and that........ I will admit that I'd have to replace my bigshot if it died (Oh yes I've already done that - lol) however that didn't make it into my card! So this is what did:  Teeny tiny Sentiments, whilst it might not be my favourite item, if I lost it I'd have to replace it because I use it so much!, and my favourite current Stamp is the Arum lily from Remarkable You stamp set , my most used punch is the Duet banner Punch , Oh and of course Wink of Stella - lol, so here's what I came up with:   I have used the Wink of Stella brush to paint on the colour (using it like an aquapainter), with the colour under the banner sayings I have p...
