It is SIMPLE Saturday.......
Here is a great guy card!
I used the ducks from the 'Stylish Sketches' stamp set.
This 'Stylish Sketches' stamp set is a SALE-a-bration choice
that you can get thru 8/31/22 (or while supplies last)
for FREE with a product order for $50.00AND
I also used the Rings of Love DSP that is a SALE-a-bration choice
that you can get thru 8/31/22 (or while supplies last)
for FREE with a product order for $50.00
Here are different ways I stamped/colored the ducks.
#1- stamped in Stazon On Ink- which is the preferred ink when coloring with water.
#2- stamped using Soft Suede ink onto Basic White card stock, added Watercolor Pencils & blended using Blender Pens. This Basic White card stock is not the best choice when using water. As the Watercolor Pencils don't blend well on it & if you get it too wet then it mucks up your image.
#3- stamped using Soft Suede ink onto Shimmery White card stock, added Watercolor Pencils & blended using Blender Pens. This would be my preferred choice, but this has a vanilla look to it & I didn't think it looked well with the white in the DSP I used on this card.
#4- stamped using Soft Suede ink onto THICK Basic White card stock, added Watercolor Pencils & blended LIGHTLY using Blender Pens. This is what I used on my card shown on today's post.
I didn't use the Stazon ink on my card today, as I was coloring with the Blends Pens & was careful to not blend too much with them.
IF I had been using the Water Painters to blend the Watercolor Pencils with I would have needed to the Stazon ink or my image would have gotten very blurry & messy!
This is what my ducks looked like when I added the Watercolor Pencils to them. Notice that I didn't color the image in totally-
just kind of scribbled the pencil colors onto the images.
This is what it looks like after I have blended the colors with the Blends Pen!
Notice how I embossed with the Tree Rings Embossing Folder onto the Crumb Cake card stock for the card front.
