Simple & Easy Watercoloring on Stamped Images (VIDEO+GIVEAWAY)

April 17, 2020

Happy Friday everyone! Are you all staying safe and healthy? Trying not to go insane with this new norm, right? I find myself doing lots and lots of watercoloring these days, to give myself some therapeutic time and to relax. It has been a wonderful escape.

I am sharing another watercoloring project with you today in hopes that you will find today’s video helpful, and that it inspires you to break out some of your supplies to get creative! Maybe you can make a card or two to send to your loved ones who you can’t be with in person yet.

In today’s video project, I am doing a very straightforward watercoloing technique on a stamped image. Its so easy, anyone can do it! Let’s start with the video tutorial first, as it is packed with lots of explanation and full progress of cardmaking.

Watch the tutorial below or HERE on Youtube

One of my favorite stamp sets was used for this card, and it is from the newest release by Altenew. I am so happy that all of us can still enjoy some crafting times and find creative escape during this uncertain time. Using watercolor brush markers, I was able to easily complete the card with fun, bold colors.

Below are some closed up photos of today’s project, so you can see the card in details:

I love one layered cards, more practical when trying to send them out. But I find it harder to make as they just seem to lack something. But this card is fabulous! Your watercolouring really pop’s these floral’s off the card. Thanks for the video I am new to water colouring and have a lot to learn still.

I’m also able to add inspiration photos to each set so that’s amazing too! After watching your live though now I’m thinking I should do a little baking and watercoloring too, lol!

Thank you so much for your encouragement! Watercolor IS intimidating for many of us. The watercolor brush markers with a water brush to add the water makes it seem much more possible πŸ™‚ Not a whole different set of supplies than what i already have, being excused for making mistakes at the beginning, and enjoying the coloring makes us all feel relaxed and ready to have a good play.

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ‘‹πŸ» I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now πŸ’•

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. πŸ˜… Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

#scrapsandstamps #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homeoffice #srudio #givethanks
    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! πŸ‘πŸ» While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy πŸ₯°πŸ₯° Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches
    Hello, beautiful! (Yes, you!) ❀️ Spring (or summer) floral wreath 🌼🌺 - created effortlessly with brand new stamp from #altenew πŸ’• sending early summer warmth to your way, hope you are having a great week! πŸ₯°πŸ₯° #scrapsandstamps #handmadecards #handmade #cardmaking #layeredstamping #altenewblossomwreath
    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Cant wait for the next session!

#calligraphy #brushlettering #handlettering
    Happy Monday everyone- πŸ’•πŸ’• I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not πŸ˜‚) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope πŸ™πŸ» I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead πŸ’™

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
