Love you, friend!

 Hey there! I took a few weeks off to enjoy some time with my little family and enjoy my birthday month! I'm happy to be back with a new tutorial for you. I actually filmed this tutorial at the beginning of July. This card was designed for my teams color challenge. We needed to create and share a project featuring Pacific Point (I never really use this color), Balmy Blue, and Crushed Curry. I thought this was going to be a difficult combo but this card came together quite quickly.

You Are Amazing

Hey there! Today I'm sharing some fun watercoloring with you! I don't watercolor very often but it sure is such a fun technique and adds such a unique look to your projects. I watercolored the brilliant butterfly images from the Butterfly Brilliance Stamp Set using the new 2021-2023 In Colors. I absolutely love this collection of colors!

Basic Black layer 4" x 5.25"

Pro Tip: Use Stazon Ink to stamp your images. I had to order a new pad and it didn't arrive in time for this tutorial so I made due with Memento Tuxedo Black. You can't quite tell in this picture, but the ink bled once I added water. Stazon is a permanent ink so it's perfect for watercoloring.

Watercoloring: You're the Best

Flirty Flamingo card base 4.25" x 11" scored at 5.5"

Night of Navy layer 4" x 5.25"

Designer paper layer 3-7/8" x 5-1/8"

Whisper White layer 2" x 3.25"

Helpful Tips:

• Use Stazon Ink for your stamped images when watercoloring. This ink is permanent and will not run or bleed when water is added to your images.
• When watercoloring using regular Whisper White, be sure to use the least amount of water possible and quick, short strokes of the aqua painter. This will help you avoid peeling of the paper. PRO TIP- use Shimmery White Cardstock or Watercolor Paper instead.

Always Thinking of You

Happy Thursday! I'm so excited to share today's project. Have you ever just been in the mood for something simple? That's how I was feeling when I created this card. My office still isn't back to full organization yet; I wanted to create but with all the mess around me I wanted to keep things pretty simple. I came up with this card and it is GORGEOUS! Clean lines, colorful, bold, and simple! I love everything about it!

Basic Black layer 3.25" x 3.25"

Watercolor Paper layer 3" x 3"

Helpful Tips

• Using our watercolor paper, stamp the flower image using Stazon ink. Pro Tip- for best inking results, use the Stamparatus to stamp the image multiple times.
• To water color the flower, squeeze each of your ink pads to pick up ink on the lids. Use Aqua Painters to pick up the ink and water color the flower image.
