The title says it all!
Today, I have another colouring technique to share with you. Take a pack of Soft Pastels Assortment, a palette knife tool from the Take Your Pick Tool and a Water Painter and you can do this to!
For this project I used the Every Chapter Stamp Set. I stamped this, using my Stamparatus, to stamp the image strongly using StazOn Jet Black ink. This ensured that I was able to stamp a clear and well inked image. I stamped the image on a piece of Shimmery White cardstock because I would be water colouring the image.
For this water coloured card I used the Soft Pastels Assortment. The pastel colours I used were scraped using the palette blade from the Take Your Pick Tool. The colours were scrpaed onto the largest acrylic block. Then I used the thinnest Water Painter to blend water into the craypn scrapings. Then I used this to water colour areas of the stamped image.
After stamping the image, I coloured each of the areas. I scraped many of the Soft Pastels Assortment chalks, one at a time, onto the largest acrylic block (F). Using the smallest Water Painter to convert the pastel shavings to a water colouring medium.
This colouring changed the opacity of the stamped image. After the water colouring dried, I returned the stamped and coloured card piece to the Stamparatus and restamped the image over the coloured image.
After the image was stamped and coloured, I used my Paper Snips to fussy cut it.
I wrapped a length of Granny Apple Green coloured Whispered White Crinkled White Binding Ribbon around a Basic White panel that was embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. These layers were then attached to the Granny Apple Green card base.
I added Stamin’ Dimensionals to the back of the book stack.
I added Matte Black Dots to the card front and Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the glasses frame.
The card insert and envelope were stamped with the teacup and glasses top ‘half’ of the stamp set.
It has been a long time since I first used the Soft Pastels Assortment. I love it when I ‘rediscover’ amazing products. The pastels are totally amazing for water colouring.
I look forward to sharing some other projects and techniques.
Tomorrow is Wonderful Wednesday – the day I share my blog hop and challenge projects.
Until then, happy stamping.
