Line and Wash Christmas Card with Inktense Pencils!

 I am so in love with Inktense Pencils! They are permant once dry, and made from ink. They work beautifully with Watercolor paper of any kind. Here I have used cheap and cheerful lightweight paper from the Dollar Store, and the results are sensational. 

Glazing can be done over and over again without degrading the paper, since the ink sets once each layer dries. 

If you love to colour, I recommend asking Santa for a 12set of these lovely pencils! Or if your budget doesn’t run that far, you can buy Colors individually from the art store. Start with a red, yellow and blue, then mix them on a palette to create more Colors!

Faux Pewter Watercolor Christmas Card.

See in this video how I create a faux pewter effect using Watercolor paper and a wink of Stella clear Brush. Versafine Onyx Black Ink insures the ink won’t run with the addition of wet media, and the inexpensive Watercolor paper from the Dollar store creates a rounded shape when water is added. 

Unlike the regular technique using the Wink of Stella glitter pen, this technique allows for a heavy application with lots of water, and actually changes the colour of the tree from black to pewter.
 

Have a marvellously creative weekend!  Keep on with your Xmas cards….time’s running out!

2022 Christmas Cards: Glimmer Baubles With Gold!

These three cards have a beautiful sheen, thanks to the red glimmer paper, and gold foil diecuts.

I found the small ornament dies on Amazon, and paired them with the lovely detailed dies from Stampinup. I added adhesive paper to the small ornaments, so they wouldn’t cut all the way through, but give an embossed look, which makes them look metallic. The gold twine is by ValueCraft, which I found at the local dollar store.

Have a marvellously creative weekend!
