Tutorial Tuesday - Watercolour Card by Debs

Hi everyone, Debs here with a pretty little card. 




First I stamped the corners using stamps from Flower Power and then added my feature from Cone Flowers




 I restamped the feature onto tissue paper and cut it out. I placed this over the original stamping to mask it and added the leaves from Crazy Flowers #2.



When you remove the mask you have your leaves in the background. I added some line work where it was missing and heat set it all.





I used watercolours in the background, by gently wetting the page and adding the colours in layers to build up the depth.
I then dried it before working on the flowers in the same way. 

Lastly I added the sentiment from Bling Bling.

Here are some close-ups:









The stamps I used are shown below



Take care 
Hugs xxx

Lovely card, Debs! Very nice effect with the masking, to get the leaves behind the cone flowers! I also think it's a very good combo of stamps from different sets - I would never have thought of using those leaves with the flowers, but they look really good together!! Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial! ♥ ♥ ♥

Atc´s Textured Birds by Verónica

Image
Hi everyone, Verónica is here. Today I come with a colorful and fun series of Atc´s that I have made with the beautiful  Textured Birds set .  Let's go step by step, so you can cheer up and make your own.I hope you enjoy it and you like it, it is done with great affection. We cut watercolor paper that measures 3 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches, if you prefer in centimeters 8,9cm by 6,4 cm approximately. Now we create the backgrounds by coloring with watercolors, pigments, or inks. I have used pigments dissolved in water, to give it a watercolor effect. When they are ready and dry we apply textured paste with some stencils that we like. In my case Distress Textured Paste (crackle). We can use the embossing gun to speed up the process or let it dry. We continue, we are going to stamp these adorable and cute little birds with a waterproof ink. Comes one of the most relaxing and fun parts, the coloring. You can use what you have or what you are used to

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
