This hope we are using the very beautiful stamp set Rose Wonder. Just stunning! There is also matching thinlits to go with this set, Rose Garden. Love a bit of matchy, matchy! I've only used the stamp set for you today.
I did a bit of CASE-ing of myself today and colouring on Crumb Cake cardstock. To see my creation that I Case-d check it out here.
My most favourite thing to do with this set is to stamp that beautiful big rose and just colour way and after a busy weekend away it was so nice to spend some time this morning just colouring away. I could feel myself destressing (spelling?) as the minutes went by.
The best way to colour onto Crumb Cake cardstock is to stamp your image and fill in each section with a very thin layer of Whisper White Craft ink with an aqua painter. This like putting down a base coat like when your painting and it also allows you to use a little bit more water than without it. If you went to colour with out the Whisper White layer the cardstock would most definitely pill and ball up. To see how I started check out the Instagram photo I put up this morning at the start of the process. It will give you a better idea of what to do.
After the Whisper White layer I used the Watercolour Pencils to add the colour. I first coloured straight on to each section with the Watercolour Pencils and then pulled the colour out with an Aqua painter. Once that first layer was done I went over and did a touch up layer by picking the colour straight off the pencil with the Aqua painter and fixed up the sections or added more colour where needed.
Once all finished with the colouring I've finished it off with one of the many sentiments from the set. How beautiful is that script font??!! Just pretty! I've also added some trim and embellishments to finish prettying up the card.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Rochelle. Thanks for the tip about the white ink first. I must try this! Kelly x
ReplyDeleteGreat tip, Rochelle! I thought you had bleached the cardstock to get the white background. I like the white ink idea much better! The results are spectacular!
ReplyDeleteLovely as always Rochelle! The Whisper White layer is a great idea and really keeps the colours clean and true. So pretty! xx
