Sketched Butterflies – How to Watercolour with Ink Pads

Sketched Butterflies – How to Watercolour with Ink Pads – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love butterflies and was so happy to see this new butterfly set in the catalogue. These gorgeous butterflies are watercoloured using the Stampin’ Up! ink pads. If you are going to watercolour, always remember to use suitable paper. I have used Fluid 100 watercolour paper here. Basic White won’t stand up to water as well as Fluid 100 and you are liable to get pilling of your paper.

One trick I employed here is to black heat emboss my images before I watercoloured them. This helps to keep the colour in the lines and stop it flowing everywhere.

How to Use Heat Embossing to Help You Watercolour

How to Use Heat Embossing to Help You Watercolour – Berry Harvest – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! – Lincoln UK

The Berry Harvest stamp is a large background stamp. When I saw this one I knew I wanted to watercolour the image. I’ve heat-embossed the image with gold embossing powder. Heating embossing the image makes water colouring easy as the embossing helps you stay in the lines.

For my watercolouring, I used a water painter and my ink pads. Quick, easy and lots of fun. I do painting and colouring, do you?

Didn’t You Know Hippos Did Ballet?

Didn’t You Know Hippos Did Ballet? – Hippest Hippos – Go to Greetings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK.

Of course, hippos do ballet, or they do in my world at least. This little cutie is coloured using Polished Pink & Granite ink pads with a water painter. I did ballet all through my junior school and I hate it!! Strangely enough, I love ballet now and watch it quite often. It’s weird how things turn out.

Red Fox – Make a Simple Card Today!!

Red Fox – Make a Simple Card Today!! – Stylish Sketches – Watercolouring – Crafting with Ashee = Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln – UK

This fox looks a lot redder in the photo than he does in real life. I coloured him using a water painter and Cajun Craze ink pad. You can mix colours to colour the little fox in as well. The grass is Old Olive and the sky is Balmy Blue. I love playing with colours. It’s such fun.

Use Background Stamps With Me! Focus Friday

Use Background Stamps With Me! Focus Friday – Bouquet of Thanks – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. For the month of July, we are looking at background stamps. These are large stamps that cover most if not all of the card front. They are usually repeating designs that add interest to a card without detracting from the focal image. They can also be large stamps that give you the focal image in one stamp.
