Watercoloring With A Touch of Ink

Hey Y’all!

I am not much of a water- colorer. But I saw a fellow demonstrator, Leslie Watkins create a card that I just had to CASE.

You can see her amazing creation on her YouTube channel, Dandelion Cottage, here is the link to the video. Now if you go there, you will see there is NO comparison, she is a true artist. I tried the "no line" watercoloring she did...No, just no. Mine looked like blobs. But I decided to try again, this time stamping the images in Basic Gray.

I was very pleased with the results! So don't be afraid to try new things. This stamp set, A Touch of Ink, is a free Saleabration item with a $100 purchase. It has great images, great sentiments, and can be used for coloring in the images with blends, watercolor pencils, or water painters, or you can use the 2 step stamps and fill the images in.

Everyone who orders a minimum of $25 in January will be entered into a drawing to win this pack of Flower and Field DSP: ****you must use the host code GP9QTMZJ and place order by 1/31/21.

So what about you? Have you tried watercoloring? Stampin' Up! has some great products to get you started-water painters, high quality watercolor paper, and our water-based inks. To order any of the supplies I used, simply click on the images below to go to my online store.

Project Details and Tips:

Card Base-Thick Basic White 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 scored at 4-1/4, Granny Apple Green layer 3-3/4 x 5-1/4, Watercolor Paper 3-1/2 x 5
Use acrylic blocks as palettes for the ink, simply press the block into the ink pad
The more water you add to the ink, the lighter the color
Use Stazon or Basic Gray ink to stamp your image, Memento Ink is not water resistant and will bleed and ruin your project.

Thanks for stopping by! Make somebody smile, send a handmade card!

Love,

Nina
