The Magic of Cling Wrap and Watercolor! Fun Technique!

 Talk about playtime fun! These cards were so easy, anyone can do it, but the results were really pretty. Using good ol’ cling wrap ( kitchen wrap, Saran Wrap, glad wrap, depending on where you’re from ), the hardest part is waiting for them to dry.

I did take a couple of sneak peeks , but decided to leave them overnight, and I’m glad I did.

They turned out great.

Have a marvellously creative day! Vicki x

Dreamy Line and Wash BOKEH technique with a Magic Eraser!

 This dreamy effect can be achieved easily with non staining Watercolor. I used a circles template to lift out the shapes, being sure to wipe down the back of the template with a paper towel so as not to spread water where it wasn’t wanted. I also altered the stamp by extending the branch using an ultra fine tip sharpie. I used Canson XL paper and Daniel Smith Watercolor.

The stamp is “Free As A Bird” by Stampin Up.

I love this field box for plein air sketching and taking on my hikes in the National Park. 

Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolors are my favourite paints, with Daniel Smith Watercolors coming in a close second.

I love the coordinating Promarker Watercolor markers that Winsor & Newton make, along with their brushes, sketchbooks and paper.

 I have been collecting sticker books from the Spotlight Store. These inexpensive books are published by American Crafts and are full of colour coordinated sticker sheets, with quotes, flowers,birds, and design elements to make borders.

Perfect for those days when you feel like being creative , but don’t feel like getting out all your supplies and making a mess.

I use my Dylusions Travellers Notebook size journal for this. All the backgrounds are already coloured, and all you do is literally peel and stick! So Easy…So Fast…So Satisfying.
