Watercolour Xmas using Distress Inks

Hi everyone!

It's Susanne and I am back with another quick video tutorial on how to use the brand new Watercolour Xmas stamp set together with Distress Ink.



If you are familiar with Distress Inks you know that they are water reactive.  I found out that they react differently depending on the paper you are using.  I used watercolour paper in the following video.  After I've inked up the stamp I spray it with water.  I blend the colours immediately after I've stamped the image.

If you use a smoother type of cardstock you can stamp the inks pure and blend them later (any time, although they are dry) with water.




Have fun watching the video:


Stay tuned for three more video tutorials...

Thanks for stopping by.
xx Susanne.

The green bauble is particularly good, it has a fantastic 3D feel and the trees look great inside it. Both have a lovely CAS design too Susanne!

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks. So to work (well play really, I'm making it all up as I go along) I started by painting my envelopes with the paints, then added some stencilling in a contrasting colour. I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between...

Tutorial Tuesday - A Mini Album by Sue

Image
Good morning and happy Tuesday, it's Sue here with my tutorial for my very easy to make mini album. Here's the front and here's the back.   I started by cutting the pages for my album. I've used the Eileen Hull passport die as I think this is a fab size. Plenty of room for your images but not so big as to be intimidating. I've used chipboard for my covers, and a mixture of black, white, and watercolour card for the pages.   I've used canvas for the binding as this is really tough and flexible. I've inked it up with Distress Inks just using the primary colours, that way where they meet they will make new colours and not mud. I know you probably know this but it took me years of mud before I really got it!   Just look at the size of this Music  stamp, it's a real whopper! I inked it up and laid my binding on top of it.   These were two practice pieces from a previous project. The stencilling was too intense for my card, but ...
