Second card using sketch 300 from sweet sunday.



Final sketch is from MFT and is my favorite for using up those small scraps. Sketch MFTWSC472.

Playing with Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Pencils

 Hello everyone. I have finally edited and uploaded my second card video. Woohoo! This video editing stuff is more of a learning curve than I thought. Hopefully over the next few weeks, I will get better at it. 


View on youtube 

Anyway, today I created two cards using the new Tim Holtz distress watercolor pencils. So far, I really enjoy playing with them. It is kind of like having 2 color mediums in one. This background scene was created using the pencils. I was able to draw in the design then paint in the color. 


I created 2 backgrounds this way then converted them into cards. For the first card, I used the following sketch.


Doodlebug design's seaside summer paper pad was used for the patterned paper. Also, Pink and Main glossy dots in rainbow were used for embellishments. 




On the second card, I used the following sketch from Sweet Sunday.


Using the same paper pad and embellishments, this is my second card.

Cards using Doodlebug Design's Great Outdoors

Today I thought I would play around with some of my supplies and create 3 different cards. On these cards, I tried to make backgrounds using different methods. For my first card, I created a mountain scene backgrounds using the Winter Wonderland stencil set from Honeybee Stamps. The seconds card's background was created using dies from Lawn Fawn. The last card's scene was created using stamps from the doodlebug great outdoors stamp set. 


The video above can also be watched here.


Created this background using the Honeybee stamps Winter Wonderland stencil set. I did apply tumbled glass distress oxide ink to back of circle. Then using mermaid lagoon distress oxide ink for the mountain range. Lastly, I used mowed lawn distress oxide ink for the greener at the bottom. 


For this background, I used Lawn Fawn's mountain die and grass die to create the die cuts.


On my third background, I used images from the great outdoor stamp set. I stamped and colored 2 mountains and 2 trees. I then fussy cut both out with a small white border. I did use another Lawn Fawn die cut to create the grass on the bottom.

I then took these three scenes and made them into cards using the Doodlebug Design Great Outdoor 6 x 6 paper pad.
