Watercolor Stencil Impressions with Scrapbook.com

 Hello Crafters! 

Man I'm on a roll with the videos lately. 

Please standby while I pat myself on the back. 

Seriously though I'm extremely excited for this one because it's my first video for Scrapbook.com. 

Yay for new craft opportunities! 

I really wanted the sentiment to be the star of the show but I couldn't leave out all that color. I went with my go to rainbow, black, and white. Turns out I still love it! Shocking. 

I used distress oxide inks as my water color medium but this will work with any kind of watercolor. I laid down clean water across my water color paper wherever I wanted the pigment to go. You don't need a ton of water, like it shouldn't be a pool, but you do need enough that it squishes when you put the stencil on. I added my distress oxide in rainbow color from the top left to the bottom right. Once I was happy with the colors I laid my stencil on top then weighed it down with an acrylic block and added a large book on top. Set it aside to dry and work on the rest of your pieces. 

I really wanted to add some hearts to the card and originally I thought I would do more rainbows but I didn't love it. Instead I opted for solid black hearts to match my sentiment. The sentiment was white heat embossed on black paper and absolutely cracks me up. I think these kind of snarky sentiments are a ton of fun. 

You can watch the entire card from start to finish in the video below. 

I know it was a short one but that just shows you how quick and easy this technique is! I love how the hearts pop off the background. 

The stencil impression looks super cool and it took minimal effort from me which honestly I'm all about haha. 

Thank you so much for visiting!

Easy Copic Coloring with WPlus9 He is Risen

Hello Crafters! 

I'm trying to get caught up on all the things. It's slow but we're making progress. 

Heading into the weekend I still have copious amounts of things to get done but I like knowing I've checked one or two off the list. 

I did previously share this card over on the WPlus9 blog earlier this week. 

For today's card I was 100% inspired by my friend Jana. I love when you stumble across something that is so simple but really effect. Jana created this card and I just adored it. She added minimal coloring but in a way that you didn't really miss it. I hope you'll head over and check out her blog. You won't be sorry!  

I absolutely adore the He is Risen set pretty much any time of year, because flowers, but it's an Easter set an it's perfect. I combined it with the Modern Calla Lilies and Autumn Leaves to create a full bouquet. I started by stamping the large background stamp using navy ink and cardstock for a tone on tone look. 

Everything after that was just as easy lol. I stamped and die cut all my flowers and leaves. Then I just outlined them with a few colors. Honest. No shading nothing. Because cameras are tricky I did change the card. I originally used much lighter colors which you can see in the next photo. 

 

Because of how washed out they were I decided to go a little bolder. The struggle was real guys. When you watch the video below you'll be able to see the actual colors. I don't abhore the final version but I loved those soft colors. Dang camera lighting. 

What do you think? I kind of wish I would have left it alone but I also know it wouldn't have ever photographed well. Ah, well it's done now right?

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

I'll see you guys soon :)
