Hey all! I am back today with a new special release Digital Stamp for Power Poppy!

I love this image, Marcella created this one for Rhea’s 50th birthday! It is so lovely! You can grab Orchid Dreams Digital Image here.

I painted this one up with watercolour using both my Schmicke set as well as a couple Daniel Smith paints. I don’t keep track of the paints I use as they are always mixed together and different colours layered on top of eachother. But I do take my time and add lots of layers.

There are some other examples using this image from the wonderful Design Team!

Chickadee in Barberry

Posted in Power Poppy, Schmincke, Uncategorized, Watercolor by

Hey everyone, today I have a watercoloured card using Power Poppy’s Chicadee in Barberry Digital Stamp. I painted it on Fabriano Artistico 140lbs Hotpress Watercolour paper with my Schmicke watercolours.

I really enjoyed the ease of painting this image, it created a card so easy with just the painting and popping it up onto a card base. Marcella’s art is so fantastic!

I ruffed up the edges of the watercolour paper and called it a card. I really am going to have to paint this one again.

Hear No Evil

Magnolia Tilda Hear no Evil 1.jpg

Hey everyone! Today I have a soft and pretty card to share with you all. I have been using my Schminke watercolours now for a few months and absolutely LOVE them! I will have a youtube video coming up on them very shortly. But when I first got them this, Magnolia Tilda Hear No Evil, was one of the very first images I painted with them and it finally got on a card!

I do not have a list of the colours I used as I mix all of my watercolours and do not use them straight from the pan very often unfortunately, but, like I said above I will have a youtube video coming up and that will let you see more detail about how I choose what colours to mix together.

I used up a bunch of scraps of paper, a couple flowers from my stash some ribbon and lace and a doily, a little bit of cheese cloth tucked in here and there finished it off.

P.S. Canada Post may be going on strike on July 2nd and the Etsy store has been put into vacation mode while that all gets figured out, this card will be listed there as soon as they have it all sorted out.

Strawberry Fields

LDRS Strawberry Fields 1.jpg

Hey everyone! Today I have a fun card using Candibean Strawberry Fields, and the Just Because Sentiment set.

I stamped the sentiment onto a kraft cut of the Gilded Oval Labels, with versamark in and embossed it with white embossing powder. I tucked it a couple cuts of the Gilded Doily Die, seriously if you don’t own this die you should probably go get it right now as it has quickly become one of my current favourites!

I painted my image up with my Schmicke watercolours on Arches 140lbs Coldpress watercolour paper, I love the coldpress paper with the strawberries and the mice the little texture does so much for this image without me having to do any of the work!

Hey everyone! We are still going strong and having a great time playing with Power Poppy images over at Passionate Paper Creations and Friends this weekend. If you aren’t over there with us yet you really should be!

PP Hellebores wc 2

To colour the Hellebores image up I used my Schmincke Horadam Aquarel watercolour set. I will list the colours I used, but just remember these colours were mixed together and used with different amounts of water to achieve the look I was after not just straight colour out of the pans.

Colours used – Lemon Yellow, Chrome Yellow Deep, Magenta, Permanent Carmine, Delft Blue, Idigo, Prussian Green, May Green, Colbalt Green Dark, Olive Green Yellow, and Yellow Ocher.

Watering Tilda 1

Hey everyone! Today I am here with a lovely shabby Magnolia Card! I used Watered Tilda. I painted her with my Schmincke Horadam watercolours. If you missed the video on my Youtube channel I will embed it in the blog post for you.

I used digital papers from Nit Wit Collection that I printed off. Wild lace made the butterfly at the top, I tied a triple bow with some twine, two cuts of the LDRS Creative Lovely View Die, bling, lace, pearls, and Wild Orchid Crafts flowers finish off the front of this card.

Hey everyone! Today I have a sweet little shaker card, I promised myself I would eventually use my fuse tool.

Paper Smooches Shell ebrate 2.jpg

I really like how flat the shaker cards lay when you make them with the fuse tool, although they do not shake as much as the ones made the old way with foam tape and acetate the thinner profile is worth it.
