No Line Watercoloring Using Markers! Stampin' Up! Australian Demonstrator

Buy Crafting Supplies in Australia at http://www.Aussiestampers.stampinup.net


Hello, and thanks for visiting my blog today.
Here is a technique you may not have tried before: no line watercoloring using markers.


I started by using watercolour paper.  I coloured up my stamp using direct marker to stamp technique, which allowed me to stamp the image with  pink blossoms (Melon Mambo) and green foliage (Old Olive).


I coaxed the colours out towards the middle of each section using my aqua brush, treating one section 
at a time. I coloured the very centre of the bloom with yellow marker (Daffodil Delight).
I added a loose pale blue (Tempting Turquoise) watercolour wash all around the bloom as a background. 


Finally I mounted the art piece onto Basic Black card stock and added a white heat embossed sentiment which I attached to the bottom left hand edge. The black rhinestones were coloured using a sharpie.

I love how it turned out, and it even looks though it could have been hand drawn.


      Thanks so much to my lovely online customers for shopping with me!  Vicki  x 💝

Stampin' Art Journal Page #3. Mixed Media Stamping.



I absolutely LOVE art journalling, and want to share my discoveries with you. I am so thrilled to announce that my Youtube channel is taking a whole new direction (don't worry,  there will still be plenty of cards!).
I love all kinds of mixed media, and am bringing a whole lot of wow into my channel, with all the art pieces I am making and sharing with you.

Did you know you can use your Stampin' Up! supplies to make an art journal?  Or on a canvas?  Or to create really cool sketches?

I am really enjoying the new mixed media products now available, and invite you to join me as I dive right in to making happy art!

Have a marvellously creative day,

Paper Crafts Festival


I spent a fun day at Penrith Panthers Paper Crafts Festival today. The Stampin' Up! team did an amazing job and were definitely the most outstanding display as you can see from the photos.

I caught up with my friend Cherryn and her friend Veronica for lunch and we had a great chat about all things paper! The crafting bug is something that provides a lot of joy for me, and I love sharing my crafting passion with others.








Have a wonderfully creative weekend!
