**VIDEO** Emboss Resist Watercolor w/ Gansai Tambi

March 13, 2015

Bright, soft, and colorful flower bunch tells us spring is almost here (hang in there, east coast friends!). I see flowers blooming already in my neighborhood. Wplus9 came out with this great stamp set last month that I’ve been meaning to create projects with. Also, I will be using the Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor set for the first time in this video!

Gansai Tambi is a bit high in the price range among the watercolor mediums that crafters can get. I mean, watercolor mediums can go much higher, but since I am not a professional watercolor artist, I think this one is the highest I am willing to go. If you are new to watercoloring, I would recommend trying other afford-ably priced products first before investing in this. However, I can tell you this Gansai Tambi Set is worth Every. Single. Penny! You won’t regret.

I love how creamy the colors are and you only need a very little bit to add colors to your image. Watch the video tutorial and you will know what I mean.

I also used emboss resist technique for today’s project. I thought this way, the embossing powders can really capture the detailed image from the stamp set and let the colors stay where they need to stay. To let the main image shine, I left lots of white space in the rest of the card, adding the die-cut sentiment piece to the bottom of the card base. For natural looking dimension of the sentiment, I cut out bunch of them and adhere on top of each other with some strong adhesive.

Are you excited for Spring?

Hi Nicole! I love your card and video. But I didn’t quite “get” the part about the fun foam. Will you please explain why and how you use it on a card. Is it used to simply add dimension to the whole card front? Thanks!

    You guessed right! Instead of using a foam tape, you can use a fun foam pad to evenly add a dimension to the whole card front. It works really well especially if the layer is warped a lot.

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

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 🎁

    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 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 💕

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. 😅 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 🥰🥰🥰

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 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 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches

    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 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 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 😂) 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 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    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
