Let’s Stick Together

Posted in Daniel Smith, My Favorite Things, Watercolor by

Hey all! Today I am back with some more watercolouring! It has kinda become my obsession lately!

I stamped them out with Tea Dye Distress Ink, then used my Mexico palette to paint this one up, I am so happy with how soft the colours came out, and how stamping in light ink and not adding the character faces back in creates suck a different look from this stamp set.

I always start with a light wash of colour, just to get rid of the white of the paper, and ease the intimidation of painting it! I love working in light layers of colours over dry paper.

I then slowly worked my way across the cacti, addint layers of greens and yellows and building up the depth till I got to the finished card!

I chose not to stamp a sentiment on the card front and add it to the inside, when I decide who I am giving it to and what sentiment I need.

The Greeting Farm – March Preview Day 2

Posted in Daniel Smith, The Greeting Farm, Watercolor by

Hey all! Welcome back to day 2 of previews for The Greeting Farm.

Today we are sharing a new set called Bouquet, and I played with the “Mexico Palette” again when painting these pretty florals up!

I stamped it out with Tea Dye Distress ink then started painting it up, I love working in layers and creating depth on the card, adding a little gray dropped shadow to some of the florals and the sentiment really finished this one off!

Floral Mix Background

Posted in Daniel Smith, Simon Says Stamp, Uncategorized, Watercolor by

Hey all, I have been having a blast with my watercolours and gouache and things lately. Don’t worry the Gnome video is almost done, you will get to see that soon.

But today I pulled out a background set from Simon Says Stamp and did some no lines watercolouring with it. It seems to be my thing again lately!

This one probably took me about 3 hours to paint. It was a wonderful time, I love just mindlessly painting, it is always a good time!

The Greeting Farm – February 2020 Preview Day 1

Posted in Copic, The Greeting Farm, Watercolor by

Today is the kick off to the February 2020 release from The Greeting Farm! We have some great stamps for you all this month!

Starting off with one of my favorite things, a floral stamp! This one is full of tiny flowers and leaves and makes me so happy!

I stamped the flowers in Distress Ink Antique Linen, then watercoloured them up with the Prima Vintage Pastel watercolours. Adding a thank you sentiment in dark brown and a copic coloured, older image to the front really makes those watercoloured flowers look like a piece of patterned paper. I love how it came out!
