Butterfly Brilliance – Make This Vibrant Card With Me

Butterfly Brilliance – Make This Vibrant Card With Me – Celebrate Sunflowers – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love the corals and oranges in this card. The butterflies are stamped in a black that I can heat emboss. I used Versafine onyx black. I then heat embossed in a clear embossing powder. This helps the watercolour stay in the lines. The watercolouring is very simple using Pumpkin Pie and Calypso Coral ink pads.

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!! – 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.

How to Use Ghost Stamping in Cardmaking

How to Use Ghost Stamping in Cardmaking – Stacked Stone – Daffodil DayDreams – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

Hello, I’m back with another Focus Friday project to share with you. The focus in July is on large / background stamps. I’ve used the Stacked Stone stamp here to stamp the background in different areas. I haven’t used a block to stamp with so the stamping is imperfect and merges into the background in place. This gives an organic and distressed feel to the card.

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.

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.

Daffodils How to Water Colour with Ink Pads

Daffodils How to Water Colour with Ink Pads – Daffodil Daydream – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

This month, the Focus Friday videos have been concentrating on colouring. Today we are looking a colouring with ink pads and water painters. You can also use a reinker. I tend to add a dot of reinker to the lid of the ink pads. I pick this colour up with my water painter. Don’t touch your brush to the actual ink pad though.

Am important consideration when watercolouring is what paper to use. I use either shimmer white cardstock or our Fluid 100 watercolour paper. If you use Basic White you will find the paper will pill. You need a paper that will stand up to the amount of water you will be using. Watercolour paper will have a texture to it so it is useful to use the Stamparatus get to a crisp clean image. I used Stazon ink to stamp as it’s permanent.

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.
