Watercolor Pencil Magic

Today’s Project we are learning what I like to call Watercolor Pencil Magic.  We are playing with the Easter Bunny Stamp Set from the Jan-April Mini Catalog as well as the Thanks A Bunch Stamp Set from the 2023 SALE-A-Bration Brochure.

 

Watch Along Here to see exactly how the magic comes together

Back in November at our Onstage Event, they showed a new and magical way of using our Watercolor Pencils and a Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter Marker. We do also have Stampin’ Blends, but I found that the Color Lifter is a smoother process and does not pill up like the Stampin’ Blends sometimes does.   Below I am showing you a Before I use the Color Lifter and After I use the Color Lifter.

Love for You Bundle

Thank you for joining me on this week’s YouTube Live.  This week we created 3 simple layout cards using the Love for you Bundle from the Jan-April 2023 Mini Catalog.

 

 

What I love about this Bundle, is that it has really fun bold greetings and some coordinating greetings. There are also some cute 2 Step Flowers and some incredible Layering Dies.  Let me show you this sampler that I created for you.

 

 

In the Sampler above, we are starting with our Solid Bold Images that create a solid background.  Next, you have the second layer which is the Outline Layer of the Words.  Then you have the Fine Line Lettering that fits inside.  Last, you have all 3 Layers put together.  TIP:  You definitely want to use the Self Adhesive Sheets for the Fine Line Lettering Layer.  This makes adhering down to your paper that much easier. 

 

In the first 2 Projects, I am using the Country Floral Lane Designer Paper Below is shown how I lined up and cut the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Designer Piece
