Water Coloring-Copic Markers│My Favorite Things - Friends at First Sip

Hey there!

How is your summer going?

Good, I hope!

Mine has its challenges, but I'm making the most of it.

At least that's what I tell myself.

So for today's card, we are trying out the new 

Prima Watercolor Palette "Terrian".

This is another beautiful set that would make a wonderful addition to your watercolor sets.

I swatch out the colors during the video.

The images are from the 

My Favorite Things Friends at First Sip stamp set.

I used this set in a card kit and still have 4 kits leftover if you missed it and it's on SALE!

I used the watercolor set to make the background and Copic markers it color the images. 

I tried to keep it super simple.

I think I succeeded.

To give it a little bit of pizazz I added some 

Wow Metallic Silver Sparkle Embossing Glitter to the edges of the watercolored piece.

You can see how I did all that in the video below.

Water Coloring│My Favorite Things - Friends with Fins - Card 1

Hey there!

Long time no, see.

I got a job and the girls are keeping me busy after work at night swimming.

It feels like time is standing still as far as getting any time to myself goes.

But I'm trying to make it work.

I know you understand.

So for today's card, we are trying out the new 

Prima Watercolor Palette "Current".

This is a beautiful set that would make a wonderful addition to your watercolor sets.

I swatch out the colors during the video.

Our images are from the 

My Favorite Things Friends with Fins Stamp set.

This set has some adorable fish and sayings.

I thought the "I would cross an ocean for you" sentiment went great with the jumping dolphin.

I embossed it with some 

Ranger Forget-Me-Not embossing powder. 

This is a beautiful blue to go with the ocean colors.

No-Line Watercolor│My Favorite Things - Piggy Pebbles - Card 1

Hey there!

How is your day going?

I haven't had much time for playing.

With the girls wanting to do stuff when I get home from work.

I don't have much time left over at the end of the day.

By the way, I got a job at the radio station doing different stuff.

Recording commercials, answering the phone, editing.

Not sure if it's my dream job, but I'm giving it a chance.

For today's project, I'm using the 

My Favorite Things stamp sets 

Piggy Pebbles and Scene Builder 

Both super cute!

I can see myself using the Scene Builder stamp set a lot.

We will be painting in the No-Lines technique.

I stamped my images on Arches 140lb Cold Press Watercolor Paper using My Favorite Things Natural Hybrid Ink.

I painted my images with M. Graham tube watercolors.

I'm sorry to say I didn't write them down as I used paint left over on my plate from the previous watercolor posts.

I'm trying not to be wasteful and use it up.

I used a Princeton Velvetouch 3 Round to start with then for the smaller details I switched to a 

Princeton Heritage 1 Round.

I cut out my image with the 

Honey Bee Stamps Honey Cut Scallop A2.

Popped it up with some Scotch Foam Tape.

I buy this by the roll and cut it down to the size I want.

I used one of the sentiments from the Piggy Pebbles stamp set and stamped it with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

I love this ink for sentiments it gives a nice clean crisp stamp.

I hope you enjoyed today card and found some inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a fabulous day!

Watercolor│My Favorite Things - Fresh Cut Flowers - Card 2

Hello, there friend!

Don't forget about my 

SAVE MY SANITY SALE 

over at the store.

If you missed the blog post about that click HERE.

Thank you to the three ladies who took me up on the sale.

I really appreciate it!

If you are looking for dies don't forget my eBay Store

that helps out too.

Today we are doing some more water coloring.

We are making a second card using the My Favorite Things stamp Fresh Cut Flowers.

Today's card is 5x7.

A little bigger to accommodate the Honey Bee Stamps Scalloped A7 Honey Cut Die.

 I placed my Arches 140lb Cold Press Watercolor Paper in my Tim Holtz Stamp Platform and prepped it with an Anti Static Powder Tool. Then stamped it with VersaMark Ink.

I then embossed it with some Ranger Super Fine Detail White Embossing Powder.

 I then taped my image down to a clipboard with painters tape and painted my image with M.Graham tube watercolors in  Naples Yellow, Payne's Gray, Quinacridone Violet, and Sap Green.

Not a lot of colors today. Let's keep it simple.

It took me about 45 minutes to watercolor this image in real time. For me, that's pretty quick.

After my image was completely dry I removed the painter's tape. Always wait for it to dry so you don't risk tearing your paper.

For the sentiment, I used the My Favorite Things Sweet Sentiments Stamp Set and Sweet Die.

The card is flat. No pop up's today.

I think it turned out really pretty.
What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a great weekend!

No-Line Watercolor│Honey Bee Stamps - Oh My Whiskers - Card 2

Hello there! 

How is your week going?

Mine's going pretty good.

I am going to try out a new job today at the radio station.

We will see how it goes. Wish me luck!

Today we are using the Honey Bee Stamps set Oh My Whiskers to paint and the coordinating Oh My Whisker die to cut out the painted pieces.

We will be painting in the No-Lines technique.

I stamped my images on Arches 140lb Cold Press Watercolor Paper using Ranger Pumice Stone Distress Ink.

I used the second generation stamping technique to stamp my images.

You can learn more about that in the video.

I painted my images with M. Graham tube watercolors.

Burnt Umber, Cobalt Blue, Mineral Violet, Naples Yellow, Payne's Gray, Raw Sienna, and Raw Umber.

I used a Princeton Velvetouch 3 Round to start with then for the smaller details I switched to a 

Princeton Heritage 1 Round.

I stamped my own background piece with the My Favorite Things Paw Prints Background stamp using Hero Arts Shadow Ink in Wet Cement.

I used the My Favorite Things Blueprints 21 die to cut out all the accent pieces using paper from the Honey Bee Stamps Spring FLing 6x6 Paper Pad.

Then I stamped my sentiment with VersaMark Ink using the Honey Bee Stamps Purrrect Sentiments Set.

You can also get the coordinating Purrrfect Sentiments Honey Cuts die to cut them out.

I didn't use that this time but used the My Favorite Things Blueprints 1 die.

I then embossed the sentiment with some Ranger Super Fine Detail White Embossing Powder.

It took me about an hour and 15 minutes in real time to paint the images.
