Playing with Watercolours – In the Country – Watercolour Pencils – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

As you may know, I love colouring. This stamp set, In The Country, is a freebie I got during Sale-a-bration (SAB). Sale-a-bration is one of the best times of the Stampin’ Up! year, for every qualifying purchase you get to choose a freebie from the SAB catalogue. This was one of my freebies.

This stamp set just screams watercolouring to me. I had a lot of fun colouring these images using my watercolour pencils. I find it so relaxing.

Wild & Sweet. Make this Cute Koala Card with Me

Wild & Sweet. Make this Cute Koala Card with Me – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

Isn’t this little koala the cutest? I love him just hanging out in the tree. As you may remember my maternal family are from South Africa. Some of that family have left South Africa to go to Australia. I was thinking of them as I made this card.

I coloured this koala using watercolour pencils and a blender pen. This makes for super quick and easy colouring.

Just to Say You Are Amazing – Awesome Otters

Just to Say You Are Amazing – Awesome Otters – Focus Friday – Watercolour Pencils – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK

Welcome to the last Focus Friday blog of February. This week we are looking at using watercolour pencils with water painters to colour. As you remember this month our focus has been on colouring. We have looked at colouring with alcohol markers, watercolour pencils and blender pens and watercolouring with ink pads.

Watercolouring is a very forgiving medium. I’ve used the shimmery white paper here to withstand all the water. The pencils give you a lot of control and you can add as much or as little water as you choose.

How to use Blender Pens with Watercolour Pencils

How to use Blender Pens with Watercolour Pencils – Awesome Otters – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

It’s Friday so it must be Focus Friday time. Welcome to this post. Today our Focus Friday is going to be focusing on how to use watercolour pencils with blender pens.

Traditionally watercolour pencils are used with, you guessed it water. However this is not the only way to use them, you can use them on their own as colouring pencils or as I’m doing today with blender pens. Each way gives a different effect. Experiment and see which you prefer. Check out the video below for a tutorial.

How I Colour this Christmas Robin – Happy Holly Days

How I Colour this Christmas Robin – Happy Holly Days – Watercolour Pencils – Colouring – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

My mother loves robins. They come so close as she is working in the garden, cocking their little heads, waiting for a juicy worm. Robins are very much associated with Christmas. I love cards with robins. Their little redbreasts are so bright in the dull days of winter.

I coloured this fellow with watercolour pencils. I love water colouring, it is the way I first tried to paint. Watercolouring is very forgiving. Take your time and build up the layer of colours and you are good to go.

Making a Quick Watercolour Card – Feels Like Home

Making a Quick Watercolour Card – Feels Like Home – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I love to watercolour. It is so soothing. The effect is gorgeous as well. The watercolour pencils are a great way to start as they give you control. Watercolour painting is very forgiving so why not give it a try?

I’ve used shimmery white cardstock here. You could use Fluid 100 watercolour paper but don’t use basic white as the paper is not strong enough to cope with all the water. Right paper for the job and you are halfway there already.

How to use Watercolour Pencils – Little Birdie

How to use Watercolour Pencils – Little Birdie – Etched in Nature – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I attended in April an online Stampin’ Up! event. We had to make a card using the Etched in Nature stamp set and this was my take on it. I stamped this cute bird using the Stazon Saddle Brown ink. Watercolour pencils are one of my favourite colouring mediums and I had fun colouring this birdie in. I took my time and dried my image between each layer so that colours didn’t over mix.

The shimmery white cardstock is great for watercolouring. You could also use the fluid 100 watercolour paper but I would recommend watercolouring on basic white. You need a cardstock that can take the water with out pilling.
