Watercolouring With Stampin’ Up! inks

So, as promised my video tutorial of the technique I showed on Saturday.

Stampin' Up! UK Easter Indescribable Gift Fantasy Stampers Challenge Watercolour

There are two ways to do this technique – I prefer to watercolour with a paint brush and water, but you could just as easily use Aqua Painters (they just haven’t landed in my shopping basket yet!).

Stamp your chosen image onto Watercolour paper with a versamark ink pad, and heat emboss with white or clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

To watercolour with Stampin’ Up! ink pads, apply the ink to an acrylic block, or, I have a glass top to my desk, so I use that – by pressing the ink pad directly onto the surface. Add a little water, and use this mixture to colour the image.

Here I have used a combination of Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, and Sahara Sand to watercolour the Indescribable Gift stamp.

Happy Easter!

Hello!

Welcome to StampinByHannah if you have found my blog through Fantasy Stampers, and if not pop over there now for a great challenge! I am honoured to be the Fantasy Stampers Guest Designer for April, and so have 2 cards this month on a Saturday for their challenges.

This fortnight the challenge is Easter Time!

There was only one stamp set for me for this Challenge – Indescribable Gift. I love this stamp! its so very pretty.

Stampin' Up! UK Easter Indescribable Gift Fantasy Stampers Challenge

 

To create this watercolour card I stamped the image onto Stampin’ Up! Watercolour Paper in Versamark ink, and Heat Embossed it with clear Embossing powder. Then I used my inks and a paint brush to watercolour the image. I have a video tutorial for this technique coming this week, so please check back.

The colours I have used are Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, and Sahara Sand.

Mini Milk Carton

I was away last week visiting some family in Bristol, and we popped out for a loaf of bread. The shop most local to my grandparents is Lidl, and I have to admit, I have never been through the door (I usual opt to drive to the nearest big name supermarket up the road), but for a loaf of bread we decided we’d give it a try. Well, it may have been the most expensive loaf of bread I have ever bought! Because I found the Easter Chocolates!

One of the many things I love about Stampin’ Up! is the colour selection, and when I spotted these eggs they called out to me in Stampin’ Up! colours – Pichachio Pudding! Crisp Cantaloupe! So Saffron!

Stampin' Up! UK Easter Egg Milk Carton

These boxes could hold way more than the 3 eggs I have put in, but I stupidly only bought one pack! Silly me!

Measurements:

Cardstock – 5 7/8 x 8 1/4″ (14.8 x 21 cm)

Score on the long side at 2, 4, 6, and 8″ (5, 10, 15, and 20 cm)

Score on the short side at 2, 4 1/4 and 5 1/2″ (5, 10.5, and 14 cm)

Indescribably Easter

Its not long now until Easter, and so this week I have a whole week of Easter themed projects all lined up and ready for you!

Stampin' Up! UK Indescribable gift Easter

This is a really simple card, and actually the camera hasn’t picked up the stunning details of the glitter I have added to the centres of the flowers from the lovely Indescribable Gift stamp set, stamped here in Pool Party. I dotted the 2-way glue pen around the flowers, and added some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter

I love this stamp, it’s so beautiful just as a line image – here its been coloured sparingly with the Stampin’ Write Markers in Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, and Pear Pizzazz.

Gorgeous

What crafty projects have you planned for Easter?
