Discovering the world of card making. One Project at a time.
How are you guys? Today I wanted to share a very easy tutorial on how to apply watercolors very precisely. I always struggle with that – either I am using too much water, or too little, and then everything starts to run. For a control freak like me, that’s the moment where I usually start to panic, so was wondering how I could reign in the watercolor and still get that wonderful look. Challenge accepted?
I know I might have missed the peak of the coloring page trend, but if you are still into this, or want to make a nice gift for someone who just loves coloring, have you ever considered creating a full coloring page with your stamps? If not, it’s crazily easy and so very much fun! Of course, I reached for my Purple Onion Designs stamps because they are so versatile and are just fantastic for scene building.
Yeah, I know, this title doesn’t make a lot of sense by itself, but I hope that when you take a look at the card, it will all become clear 🙂 I was itching to use a beautiful Wildflower stamp set by Condord & 9th and just couldn’t resist using a space theme for the coloration.
I am trying to improve my watercoloring skills, and so I challenged myself to color a super fun stamp by Whimsy Stamps exclusively (well, mainly) with watercolors. Here’s my result.
Hello everyone! I’m back with another card I made for Purple Onion Designs, using some stamps from their recent release. This time, I was inspired by my crafty friend Sonja from The Art of Stamping – she often uses different formats for her cards, and I ventured past the standard A2 size to create a more long-ish design – and I like it!
Hi crafty friends! Today is the last day when you can get the entire new Happy Trails collection by Purple Onion Designs at a 30% discount. And of course I’m not just here to tell you that but to also show you a card I made using the new stamps. And I dabbled once more with no-line coloring, which I still find incredibly difficult, but always worth the effort.
