Video Tutorial - MFT Stamps - Fairy Happy - No Line Watercolor

Hi everyone!  I hope you are having a wonderful week.  I have a video tutorial to share today showing how I created this fun sky background with the MFT Cloud Stencil and some Distress Ink and also how I used the no line watercolor technique to color the fairies.  Here's the video:

And here are some pictures of my card (some are a bit washed out simply to show you all the glitter on the fairies):

For the fairy wearing pink, I used the following Zig Markers: Light Brown, Yellow, Light Blue, Green, Pink, Flesh Color, Blush, and Almond Pink.  For the Fairy wearing purple, I used Dark Brown, Brown, Light Blue, Green, Violet, Yellow, Flesh Color, Blush, and Almond Pink.  I used Spun Sugar and Scattered Straw Distress Inks with the MFT Cloud Stencil to create the background.  I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder.  The images were stamped with Antique Linen Distress Ink for the no line watercolor technique.  What do you think?


Well, that's it from me today.  Thanks so much as always for stopping by.  Huge hugs!

Video Tutorial: No Line Watercolor Technique using Kindred Stamps and Zig Markers

Hi everyone!  I have a second video and two more card samples to share with you today.  I decided after devouring YouTube videos (specifically Kristina Werner who is fabulous!) to try my hand at no line water coloring. I loved the technique and the outcome so much that I decided to make a video tutorial on it just in case some of you might find it helpful.  First, I'll link to the video, then show you pictures of the cards. I apologize ,the video isn't the greatest.  There are a couple times I'm off camera and the zoom makes things a bit fuzzy at times, but I hope it is still helpful.  Please know, I do not in any way claim to be an expert at water coloring and I certainly am not an artist.  I taught myself this technique and I'm simply showing you guys the way I do it in the hopes that it might help or inspire some of you. 





Now for some close up pictures of the cards themselves.  Here's a picture of both cards together:

I will be coming back in a day or two with a video on how to create the backgrounds to these cards.  Today's video tutorial focuses only on the no line watercolor technique. 


Here's Rapunzel:

And here's Ariel:

I will list here for you all the supplies I used to do the no line watercolor technique.  I'll post the rest of the supplies when I post the tutorial on creating the backgrounds.  For the no-line coloring for Rapunzel, I used Antique Linen Distress Ink, a water brush, and the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers: Yellow, Light Violet, Purple, Flesh Color, Blush, Almond Pink.  For Ariel, I used the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers: Wine Red, Light Violet, Marine Green, Flesh Color, Blush, and Almond Pink.  For Flounder, I used Yellow and Light Blue.  For Sebastian, I used Red.  I used a Black Gelly Roll Fine pen (I got mine at Michael's) to draw in the eyes and smile.  What do you think?
