Watercolour Week | Faux Watercolouring With Watercolour Wings

Faux Watercolour technique featuring Watercolour Wings from Stampin' Up! UK

I hope you have enjoyed this week of Watercolour, I have LOVED making the samples this week!

This final card is a bit of a cheat though – Faux Watercolouring. I know, it sounds silly, but just take a look…

Faux Watercolour technique featuring Watercolour Wings from Stampin' Up! UK

This is so super simple! It doesn’t even require a brush!

Watercolour Wings is awesome, and I am so pleased that it is with us for another year too. The idea of this stamp set is that you are able to layer different inks and create a watercolour effect butterfly (Faux watercolouring in itself!) however, there is a massive trend around at the moment of sort of running watercolour, where the paint has run. Which is what I have done here. The butterfly is stamped in 3 layers; Pool Party, Marina Mist and Melon Mambo. After each layer the Watercolour paper was spritzed with water and dried with a Heat Tool to create these runs of ink and hard edges. So pretty!

The sentiment is taken from Balloon Celebration and the card is finished with a splatter of Gold Wink of Stella and some Clear Wink of Stella on the centre of the butterfly.

Watercolour Week | Negative Space Watercolouring

Crazy About You Watercolour negative space Hello Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

I hope you are having a great week! today is my last day off work, back to the grind-stone tomorrow

Last weekend I headed to Telford for Stampin’ Up!® On Stage Local (and saw the awesome new annual catalogue!) and Team Training on Sunday where I provided a whole table of Watercolour inspiration! Most of the cards I shared were cards you guys have already seen, but I did make a few new ones – including this card

Crazy About You Watercolour negative space Hello Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

This card is super simple to make I promise! I am going to start writing the card measurements on my blog posts, I listened to another demonstrator (sorry I can’t remember who it was) on Saturday talk about making blog posts easy for readers to re-create the projects. This is something I have been trying to work out for a while. I use the same sized card quite often, but will try and remember to post the sizes – especially when I’m using odd sizes or doing fancy folds!

Hello you thinlits from Stampin' Up!

Ok, so this card uses the Hello You thinlits dies, die cut from Thick Whisper White card stock. I found a piece of scrap card stock (also Thick Whisper White) that was bigger than the die cut ‘Hello’ and used the Watercolour Wash technique that I shared on Monday to create a rainbow of colour.

The card is then a simple case of layering and re-assembling the ‘Hello’. I used Dimensionals for the larger pieces, but the little dot in the ‘O’ required a ball of Glue Dot, you can see it slightly, but it’s clear and I’m pretty sure your wouldn’t notice it without looking for it!

Card Measurements:

Card Base – (Half A4 folded in half) 21 x 14.85 cm, scored on the long side at 10.5 cm

Watercolour Week | Live with an Open Heart

Stampin' Up! UK Watercolour technique An Open Heart

I just love this watercolour technique! It’s one I have actually it shared before, and I even have a Video Tutorial all about it! But, this card was inspired / CASE’d from the gorgeous Michelle Last and a card she created and share with us at a Team Training event back in February.

Stampin' Up! UK Watercolour technique An Open Heart

The background for this card is created using a piece of Watercolour Paper cut to 3 3/4 x 4 3/4″ (that’s a 1/4″ bigger than one of our larger clear blocks). Then you apply ink to the clear block, here I put Pool Party and Marina Mist on the top two 3rds of the block and Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow near the bottom. The easiest way to do this is to literally press the inkpad onto the block – I’m sure you could get the same effect but colouring the block with markers but I haven’t the time for that! Once the block is all nice and inky you spritz the block with water (a Stampin’ Spritzer is the best thing for this!) and get the block all wet so that the ink is almost running away! The quickly turn the block over and ‘stamp’ it onto the watercolour paper. Stampin' Up! UK Acrylic Block Stamping An Open Heart

I left mine to dry but you could speed up the drying process with your Heat Tool, before using the Paper Piercer and Essentials Piercing Pack around the edge. I have used Basic Black ink to stamp the bird and sentiment both taken from An Open Heart.

I adhered the Watercolour paper onto the Crumb Cake card front, but there was just something missing. I thought about adding another layer of card stock, or some Designer Series Paper but just couldn’t decide on the colour. However, I did have a piece of this gorgeous Crumb Cake Stitched Satin ribbon sat in my ribbon scraps – Perfect. To attach it onto the now assembled card though, hmm. Simple solution, cut a slit in the folded side of the card base and tie the ribbon in a bow around the whole card front.

So pretty

Make It Monday | Watercolour Wash

Make It Monday Watercolour Wash video tutorial

Make It Monday with Stampin' Up!

I did it! I finally got round to making another video tutorial for a Make It Monday! Yay!

This week here at StampinByHannah I have a heap of projects using Watercolour to share with you. I love watercolour, I love playing with inks and getting a little messy, creating one off pieces and generally having fun with ink! Yesterday I attended a Team Training day (more on that coming this week, but I will admit that this blog post was written last week!) and held an inspiration station based around watercolouring, so I have a mountain of samples to share with you, featuring a range of watercolouring techniques. But I thought I would keep it simple for Monday, and demonstrate a watercolour wash

Make It Monday Watercolour Wash video tutorial

This was my original card, and the wash here is in Island Indigo, Bermuda Bay and Pool Party, super pretty. This card would be perfect for a masculine birthday and so the sentiment it taken from Big News and has been heat embossed in white.

The key to an effective watercolour wash for me is to use an Aqua-Painter. I tend to prefer a traditional paint brush when watercolouring images, but for a wash like this one, the Aqua-Painter really comes into it own. The great thing about an Aqua-Painter is that the handle of the brush is full of water, which comes out onto your paper via the bristles of the brush which means that as you ‘wash’ over your card stock with the brush more water feeds out, diluting your ink further and giving you a super easy ombre effect.

Stampin' Up! UK Watercolour Wash Video Tutorial Thank you card

Now for these cards as the colour starts to fade on your wash, I have added in a different colour to create a gradient and multi-colour wash. As usual there are no rules here, you could use just one colour or you could create a whole rainbow, who says you stick to just blues!

Butterfly Basics Week – Watercolour Background

Stampin' Up! UK Butterfly Basics Watercolour Background Thinking of you card

I do hope that you have enjoyed this week of Butterfly Basics cards. I have another themed week planned for next week too – I’m away this weekend and On Stage, the 6 monthly Stampin’ Up! corporate event, and am attending a team training day on Sunday. I managed to volunteer myself into doing an inspiration station – a whole table of cards with one theme! So, next week I will share a whole heap of cards featuring one technique, but I’m going to leave you to guess which one!

While I’m talking about On Stage, don’t forget to check out my Facebook page and Instagram this weekend, as I am sure to share some photos of my adventures (but not new products, I’m not allowed to show you anything like that yet!)

Stampin' Up! UK Butterfly Basics Watercolour Background Thinking of you card

This final card in my series of card featuring Butterfly Basics is probably my favourite. Purple is my favourite colour, and so I’ve selected 3 shades here to create this background; Wisteria Wonder, Perfect Plum and Elegant Eggplant. It is super easy to create this watercolour background, the trick it to let each colour and layer dry before adding the next, and creating ‘hard edges’ but speeding up the drying process with you Heat Tool.

Stampin' Up! UK Thinking of you Watercolour Background

The butterfly is stamped in Wisteria Wonder onto more Watercolour Paper before being die cut with the coordinating die from the Butterfly thinlits dies, and it adhered to the card with a few glue dots that are also holding down the loops of Metallic thread in Gold.

I wanted a neutral background / card base for this one, and so selected Tip Top Taupe, a colour I have to admit I haven’t used all that much recently, but am starting to really enjoy – probably should add a pack of card stock to my next order!

Butterfly Basics Week – Sending Wishes Your Way

Stampin' Up! UK Butterfly Basics English Garden Card

I’m loving this week of cards featuring Butterfly Basics! I love this stamp set, it can be found in the Annual catalogue on page 124, under Artistic Expression – but don’t let that title put you off. Its a great set of stunning images and two great sentiments that are perfect for so many occasions.

Stampin' Up! UK Butterfly Basics English Garden Card

This card also features a piece of English Garden Designer Series Paper as I continue my mission to get my Designer Series Paper used up rather than just sat (looking very pretty) on the shelf!

The fern is stamped in Old Olive and stamped off 3 times, all on the card, creating this great variation in colour. The flower stem was stamped over the top in Always Artichoke – I’m still not sure about this bit, but I LOVE the fussy cut flowers, a little tricky but well worth it

Butterfly Basics Week – Watercolour

Stampin' Up! UK Butterfly Basics Watercolour Birthday Card

Butterfly Basics is one of my favourite stamp sets from this years Annual catalogue (actually it was in last years Spring/Summer too!) It can be found on Page 124, and is in the Artistic Expression section. Although it was designed for Stamp Layering the flower image is great for a simple watercolour

Stampin' Up! UK Butterfly Basics Watercolour Birthday Card

The big key to watercolouring your stamped images is using the right ink to stamp with. I’ve used Archival Basic Black ink here as it is water-resistant, but you could also use Stazon. Memento is great for using with your alcohol markers but as it is water-based tends to run and bleed when used with watercolouring.

When watercolouring an image like this I smoosh my ink pad onto a large clear block and add some drops of water either from an Aquapainter or spritzer. I’m not great with an aquapainter (yet) so stick with my trusty paint brush. My current fav is a Soft grip number 5 round brush from Royal and Langnickels Crafter’s Choice range, which I only bought because they are purple! When watercolouring a small-ish image like this one I prefer to keep my brush quite dry with more ink that water which is why I prefer a brush rather than an Aquapainter because that way I have more control

Butterfly Basics Week – Make It Monday

Stampin' Up! UK Make It Monday Blender Pen colouring Butterfly Basics

Make It Monday with Stampin' Up!

Welcome to a whole week of posts focusing on Butterfly Basics. I LOVE this stamp set, its super pretty and great for a host of techniques including; watercolour, stamp layering, blender pens on vellum, and die cutting (seeing as it coordinates with TWO die sets!) and can be found on page 124 of the Annual catalogue in the Artistic Expression section. I love this part of the catalogue, its the run wild section for me, where you can find stamp sets specifically designed for techniques and where your imagination can run away with you.

Make It Monday Butterfly Basics Vellum Blender Pens

I know I did promise a video this week, but time ran away with me again – 3 shifts at work this week and then I’m off for 9 days! So, fingers crossed I get some filming done then!

Stampin' Up! UK Stamping on Vellum

So, today we are using our Blender Pens to colour on Vellum. I really enjoy this technique, and its a great way to introduce yourself to the joy of the blender pen! Blender pens contain a clear ‘ink’ that means that you can blend out the ink from your stamping, or use them to pick up coloured ink to colour an image. Blender pens work great on our Whisper White card stock, BUT you have to work fast, which is why I’ve used vellum today. Vellum is really slippy (non-porous) and ink takes much longer to dry on it, which makes it great for trying our your Blender Pens!

Stampin' Up! UK Blender Pens on Vellum

I’ve used my Stampin’ Write Markers today too. Scribble some marker onto a clear block and use the Blender Pen to pick up the ink – much less messy that doing the same with an ink pad!

Stampin' Up! UK Blender Pens Stampin' Write Makers Vellum Colouring

Ok, so after you have stamped your image onto the vellum (I’ve used our Archival Basic Black ink) allow the ink to dry and then turn the Vellum over. Then, using your blender pens, colour the reverse side of the image. I used four colours here; Wild Wasabi, Always Artichoke, Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry.

Stampin' Up! UK Vellum tips and tricks

Because ink takes so long to dry on Vellum I used my Heat Tool to speed up the process. But you have to be super careful when heating Vellum that it doesn’t burn, use the first setting on the Heat Tool and keep taking the Vellum out of the heat every few seconds. The ink will dry much quicker this way.

Stampin' Up! UK Vellum Birthday Card

Time for some finishing touches. Attaching Vellum to card stock can be tricky. I’ve used Fast Fuse here, because its clear and I’m attaching the Vellum to Whisper White Card stock it is easily hidden under the stamping. Stampin' Up! UK Make It Monday Blender Pen colouring Butterfly Basics

The bow clip in the top corner helps to keep the free edge tidy, and I’ve added some Gold Wink of Stella to the flower to mirror the Gold in the Clip

Stampin' Up! UK Butterfly Basics Birthday Card

What do you think? I love the soft colours you get when you colour on the reverse of the Vellum. You could just as easily colour the front, you just get more vibrant colour

Masked Ink Blending

Stampin' Up! UK Butterfly Basics Birthday Card

Hello there! Firstly, I have to apologise for the lateness of this post, I really don’t know what is happening to me at the moment but my energy is at an all time low. After hosting my monthly Card Class last night, I just could not get motivated to move this morning!

The card I’m sharing today has been working its way out of my brain since I checked the Global Design Project Blog on Monday, I’m just glad I got to make it before the challenge closed!Global Design Project Sketch Challenge 30I always enjoy a sketch challenge, but this card formed in my head (after I’d checked the Global Design Project Blog) but I didn’t put the 2 together until yesterday.

Stampin' Up! UK Global Design Project Butterfly Basics

Now, trying to photograph a mainly white card is tricky, I hope you can forgive my slightly shaky skills.

At class last night the ladies were working through the current Annual catalogue working out their orders and someone mentioned that they loved this stamp set. I have to admit that my copy has been gathering dust slightly over the past few months, but it is definitely one of my all time favourites, I’m not sure if its the font, or the fern, or those flowers, or the fact that it coordinates with two die sets, but I love it!

Stampin' Up! UK Butterfly Basics Birthday Card

Ok, So the sentiment is from Butterfly Basics, and is stamped in Blackberry Bliss (retiring soon!). After the ink was dry, I used a 1″ strip of sticky note tape as a mask and covered that sentiment, before ink blending over the sentiment with Sahara sand ink and my sponge. I love this technique at the moment, I get to get all inky but I still get to see sharp white on my card!

The butterfly is die cut from Pear Pizzazz card stock, and the card is finished with 3 dots of Gold Glimmer paper punched with the 1/4″ and 1/8″ handheld punches (the same as I did on this card earlier in the week!)

Thanks for checking out my blog today, and I will be back soon with another card featuring this awesome stamp set!

Rose Garden Congratulations

Stampin' Up! UK Rose Garden Congratulations Card

I’m loving playing with my big shot, framelits and thinlits at the moment. I have a set of cards coming later in the week that features a heap of different sets of dies, and really I probably should be sharing those first as this card uses one of the off cuts from those!

Stampin' Up! UK Rose Garden Congratulations Card

The leaf is taken from the Rose Garden thinlits dies, and is sponged with Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz inks to create a gradient effect. The Congratulations is taken from Big News – I love this stamp set, perfect for a whole heap of occasions – and is actually stamped in Old Olive and heat embossed but some how looks gold on here!

This card just needed an extra something, I had some Gold Glimmer paper left out on my desk from another project, so I grabbed some handheld punches (1/4″ and 1/8″ I think) and created a trio of sparkle. You could use traditional glitter, but this way was much less messy!
