Blessings of Home Coloring with Watercolor Pencils

Hey Crafty Friends!!! Today's card is a little artistic creation for me, not my typical card.  I used multiple tools and techniques to creat this card; sometimes it is just fun to play with all your tools. I have included extra photos to help show how I created this little gem.  Enjoy my colorful creation.  


Card Details 
  • Stamp - Blessings Of Home
  • Paper 
    • Basic Black card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score and fold at 4 1/4"
    • Basic White cardstock - 5 1/2" x 4 1/4", die cut with largest Deckled Rectanlge Die 
    • Basic Black cardstock layer - 5 1/4" x 4" die cut with 2nd largest Deckled Rectangle Die
    • Basic White cardstock layer - 3" x 4 1/4" (2) die cut 4th largest Deckled Rectangle Die
  • Ink
    • Memento Tuxedo Black 
    • Blackberry Bliss
    • Granny Apple Green
  • Other Stuff
    • Deckled Rectangle Dies - I love these dies, so fun. 
    • Watercolor Pencils to color stamped image.
    • Stampin' Write Markers to add all the splatter to image.
    • Blending Brushes to color white layer under stamped layer.
    • Blender Pen to spread the watercolor pencil pigment over the stamped image. 


Stamp image, let ink dry, then add color. 


Use Blender Pens to genly spread color and fill in each image. 


Watch video below to see how easy it is to watercolor with the pencils and a blender pen.  I am not a painter in any form or fashion, but I find this fun and easy.  You should give it a try.   Advance video to the 7:02 mark to see how this is done. 



Add splatters to fill in white space using markers.
Blending Brushes and ink create a two tone background.

My Stamps A-Z Painted Poppies and Peaceful Moments

Happy Sunday Crafty Friends!!!  Today I am continuing the journey of sharing creations with some of my older stamps.  The Painted Poppies and Peaceful Moments were released in January 2020 Mini Catalog.  The simplicity of the Painted Poppies stamps are timeless and I love the Peaceful Moments mixed fonts.  I deliberately kept this card simple.  It would look great in any of our colors. 

Card Details
  • Paper
    • Parakeet Party card base - 11" x 4 1/4", score and fold at 5 1/2"
    • Basic White cardstock - 5" x 3 3/4" 
  • Ink
    • Parakeet Party
    • Momento Tuxedo Black
  • Accessories/Tools
    • Clear Block "B", Multipurpose Liquid Glue, paper towel



Let Me Give You a Tip: 
  • Block needs to be clean and free of any debris (sometimes I find dried glue on my blocks).
  • To ensure you have good Ink Transfer do the following: 
    • Press blcok firmly into ink pad and make sure it is well covered with ink.
    • Place white cardstock on a stamping mat or foam mat for best transfer of ink to paper. 
  • Enjoy and try this technique with other colors and other stamps.  
  • Step it up and add some embellishments - the Matte Black Dots would be perfect for this card.
