Negative Painting Hearts Watercolor Card! 2 Fun Techniques to try. 💙♥️💜

 

Have you ever tried negative painting? No, I don’t mean painting when you’re in a negative mood! LOL 

This technique is quite simple. You basically paint images BEHIND the first image. Paint as many layers as you like ( I went a bit OTT with mine ) , but three layers would still give you this cool effect. 

I also used a wax paper technique to add texture to my hearts.  This was super fun , and one I will use again.

Have a marvellously creative day, Vicki 💙💜♥️

Elegant Writer Watercolour Painting : just one pen, a stamp and water!

This pen is MAGIC! 

I created this portrait using a Prima stamp and the Elegant Writer calligraphy pen. 

The black ink breaks into mesmerising colours of cerise pink, turquoise, pale blue and black once you add water. 

 It’s fun and easy, and you can create a portrait using any stamp that has a face on it.

Use Watercolor paper for this technique. Splash water onto the background, let it sit for a few moments, then blot up with a paper towel. Once you have completed and dried your portrait, add splashes of wet ink around the outside for added texture.

 Have a marvellously creative day! Vicki 🙂🎨

Transparent Watercolor Leaves with Doodles.

Using more water in the second layer makes these leaves look transparent. 

A sepia marker gives a much softer accent than black, and ties in with the colour scheme.

Beginner friendly Watercolor Card.

How to Paint a Wreath Using Zig Brush Pens.

 

These flowers are seriously the easiest flowers you will ever paint. A gold pen creates a wreath.

The flowers appear to weave under and over the gold wreath. See in the video how I masked off some areas and how a fast, confident hand creates the easiest wreath you will ever draw. 

I am really into customising envelopes these days with my envelope punch board. 

It gives you the freedom to create cards of every shape and size.

Have a marvellously creative weekend!
