Hiya it's Amanda here from Lolli Lulu Crafts and today we're going to be doing
a watercolor piece using these gorgeous Tim Holtz floral stamps. So I'm
starting off with this Tattered Lace large rectangle die and I've taken the
fifth one in there and I'm just drawing around it to use as a guide for the size
of my finished watercolor piece. I've then already stamped and rough cut
around the flower heads so that I've created a mask for them and then what
I'm doing is I'm setting out the stamps how I want to actually stamp it, I find
that quite helpful to just get an idea. It also helps me work out the order of
the stamping because obviously I'm needing to mask some off. Now in order to
remember that I actually just take photograph of that stamped piece and
then I've taken those first three flowers, so they're the flowers that I
need to stamp first, so that they then can be masked off. The bits
that you stamp first are going to be in the foreground anything you stamped next
is the layer behind them because it's sort of back to front what you think. You
think you're stamping it first so it's going to be on the back but it's the
reverse. So you stamp anything that you want at the very front first and then
work your way down to the back layer and that way you can mask off your stamps as
you go along. Now I use my Versamark here and some white embossing powder from
Creative Expressions. This is really lovely fine embossing powder so you get a
really lovely detail but of course it's quite hard for me to show you this on
camera because it's kind of white on white!
So what I'm doing is I'm stamping them and then embossing and heat embossing them
straight away because if you then go back and try to stamp again or mask
them off obviously your gonna smush up all your stamped ink areas so you need to
make sure it's all set up ready to go for the next section. So here I'm masking
off my flowers, so I'm just putting these down using a little bit of my tape pen
and then I'm just literally pressing really lightly because you
don't want it to pull up any of the paper and then I'm just positioning the
next elements down. Now as it happens I've got this wrong that leaf piece on
the left hand side there was not the next layer, I actually had a flower that
was in the middle between those two flowers there and that should have come
down next. So it actually slightly messed it up for me because the flower was
meant to be behind the leaf. So what I've done is I've stamped it, I then didn't
think about it in time so I then didn't even mask the leaf off, because I could
have reversed it, I could have made the leaf the other way around! As you can see
I've now put that over the leaf, but I didn't mask the leaf, so I'm literally
getting that embossed piece straight through the middle of that flower. Now
what I actually did afterwards this I actually kind of scraped it off. It was
an ideal but it it got rid of most of the kind of embossed part, enough for me
to color it but it was just a bit of a nuisance. So then I've gone along I've
embossed all of those bits, I've stamped and done all the stalks and everything,
and I'm just trying to show it there to you but it is quite hard being white. So
then the next thing I want to do is put my sentiment down and this is a Simon
Says Stamp stamp and I'm just gonna put "Wishing You the Best Day Ever!" and for
this I'm going to be using my Versafine in black. I really like this, again it
works really well on these lovely fine sort of sentiment stamps, it just comes
up really well. The other thing you have to be cautious of and why it works really
well in this stamp platform is we're working on watercolor card here, and
even on the smoother sides it just still has a little bit of texture to it. As you
see there it didn't quite stamp some of that and the advantage of course of
being on here is that you can easily go back. So if you can, if you've got one of
these, then I would definitely recommend it. So I'm gonna colour these in using
these Kuretake Zig Clean Color Brush Markers and normally I would go off and
I would give you a load of music but today I thought I would talk through
what I was doing and just explain, in case you're new to these markers, or
just any ... just want to hear me chat instead of music! If you don't then turn
the volume down and just enjoy the colouring. So what I'm doing here is I've
first of all I put a layer of water down onto the part that I want to actually
watercolour, and then I added my darker colour first in the area that was the
center here for example, and then I added my next darkest colour and then for me
because I wanted to add the .... so that's my next task I'll let me catch up with
where we are here. Then I want to add the yellow and I'm allowing the
colours to blend in, it doesn't damage the brush at all coz these are like little
brushes on the ends of these markers. Then to just really kind of feather the
colour out so it really blends out. I'm just using a paint brush with water on
just to blend those colorus through and really just try and make the transition
between one to the other really subtle. Again it's about layering as well
because with a lot of these markers, you you kind of want to let it dry and then
go back in again, because if you keep adding to it when it's wet you sometimes
don't get that distinction. Whereas if you let it dry and then add another
colour it kind of doesn't mush together quite same. What I did there was I had
found a colour, that I was doing on here, and I thought it was a little bit darker,
and it just added that little bit of extra definition to the shadow. So I
just added that in and then I quite liked it so it went back to the other
one for that. So here the three greens that I'm going to be using for my stalks
and leaves and you can choose whatever works for you but again here I've added
the water first and this is the advantage of embossing because the
embossing axis almost like erm like what's the word like little walls to
your water and your color so it stops it flooding out too far as long as you
don't put like masses down it kind of stops it and it sort of keeps it within
the definition of the area that you want it to be in and I think that works
really well so what I'm doing here is I'm starting with my lightest color I'm
putting that down across the whole lot and then here I'm just doing a little
bit on the leaf and blending that through and then I take my next darkest
color or actually sorry in this one I'm doing a bit of yellow yes that strikes I
thought the yellow would look really nice at the bottom just give it a bit of
almost like the sun shining through the bottom of the leaf that kind of almost
translucent kind of limey color that you get and I did that by merging the yellow
and the green together a little bit so then I've just kept adding in the darker
color in the areas where you think that you're going to have bits of shadows so
areas where perhaps the leaves are touching joints so sort of where the
stalks say at that V there at the bottom there that would be darker there would
be certain sections of the leaf on the top maybe or to the back of the leaf
there you can kind of decide I mean it's really not that massively important I
think unless we're trying to do like an absolute masterpiece you know long as
you get it roughly right and you add the shadows in it's going to look good
obviously you want to do where to a certainly scent there are likely to be
darker areas so underwear leaves a say touching those stalks they're going to
be darker because the shadow would be grated exactly but don't get too hung up
on it you know long as you put add some shading it's gonna look better than not
to be honest so just play with and enjoy it and don't get too worried
about it so now I'm doing my flowers and I
decided to go for some blues and purples which was slightly unusual perhaps for
flowers but I just thought it would be kind of cool
so you want to make sure that the area that you have worked on previously is
completely dry I let it dry naturally by the time I to finish the other areas
this had dried so here you can see at the plate where the flower had met that
kind of flower head part we took the darkest color then I put my mid color
down next to it and then I took my bright blue and did it at the petal
points and now what I'm doing is taking my paintbrush and I'm pulling that color
down towards the pale of blue what that does is obviously dilute the darker blue
and start to make it be able to merge with the other one so now what I'm doing
is pulling the other color up so then the two will meet in the middle and
we'll start to blend them together and that just adds that lovely blend through
so then when you want to just add a little bit more color to add a little
bit more definition and just keep layering that up now here I decided that
the petal points now were just a little bit dull so where I'd pulled it down I
just pulled it a little bit too far so I'm just taking my paintbrush and I'm
just going over that and with clean water and pushing up the color towards
the center there and that just pushes some of that color off the petal points
and here I'm just taking that paler blue and just blending in the mid-tone area
as well just to try and blend that through but here again I still felt that
was a little bit dark so I just took my little baby wipe and just Pat it on
those ends and that just took away a bit of that color so now we're going to the
next flower here I'm still doing a bluey flower so I'm taking where the center of
the flower is and I'm adding the darkest color sorry it's a purple flower going
bananas in my old age and then I but I wanted to get the blues in there so it
it was totally comfortable with my blue flower but you still wanted it to be a
purple flower so by adding the blue button
sing it in a little bit with the dark purple it kind of worked so for this one
originally I was gonna add color like I did with the previous vowel but I really
liked how when I poured the color out to the tips it just made its own pale color
I just thought it looked so pretty so here what I'm doing is I'm just adding
some darker color to the center with the blue and just making that a little bit
more definition in the center there and then the same with the purple because I
didn't want it so blue but I wanted it as such a mix in nicely so here we've
got another flower it's really hard to see them and again I'm just laying down
my water first now this one has petals that are curling up so what I'm trying
to do is where the petals are either overlapping or curling over other petals
you can see that blue sort of line I've got in the middle there I'm just going
over it with purple as well I'm just trying to add that there as the darkest
area because that's where the petals are kind of cross creating a bit of shadow
over each other and by just looking at that that's when you'll just add that
little bit of extra definition to your flower don't kind of think about it in
that or get too worried about it just think all right that flower petal is
will be overlapping the other ones so let's add a darker color there and then
just blend it out almost don't look at it closely as far away I mean because if
you look at it too much you you kind of try to make it look like the flower but
actually when I'm doing it I'm just thinking it looks a mess but then when
you pull back all of a sudden it looks right and it works and I think you know
if you just kind of put the color where the darker areas ought to be and don't
try to make it look like a flower but just think about where the dark hair is
on where the light areas are and then it will naturally come into place but as I
said don't get massively hung up on it you can see even though this is speeded
up four times I'm really not getting too worried I'm thinking right the scent is
going to be darker because all the leaves are closer together and some of
the areas where the petals are overlapping each other they will be
darker so I just added a little bit lying there but I'm not getting
massively hung up as you can see on this one I'm just barely adding anything to
the lower area I'm mostly focusing on the center and here I'm just going along
where I think the petals overlap a bit so this is the last flower here I think
I think is and for this one I wanted to go for a blue flower because I didn't
want to have just the single blue flower so I'm again starting I'm sorry this is
slightly off camera but I'm starting in the center and I'm putting the blue down
now unlike my first blue flower although I'm gonna make this predominantly blue I
am adding a little purple into it again just to blend the blue flower into the
other flowers just so it works together now you'll see with this like the other
one I have added the paler color around the edge of the flower so you can see
where that top petal there it's kind of got a sort of fold over part so the the
bit that's skimming it would be the light part so like there down the bottom
because that's the part that's coming around and it will be hitting the light
it's the bit inside that's going to be the darker area so if you just keep the
center part dark and there's a lot bits at the edges lighter
you'll find that that will come together really well now in all honesty this is
the point I should have stopped and what I did was I started playing with the
center here and I regretted that I don't think it turned out horrible but I think
it looked better before I played with it now you'll see here what I was trying to
do was blend the center in with the darker color on the outside but what
happened was because the outside petals were still wet the green just smushed
out into the petals instead of staying where it should have done and so it just
began and then it was too dark and I just was trying to rescue it at this
point so the only way I could rescue it really was to add some dark color around
the edge there which okay that looked okay but and and I wasn't unhappy with
that I wasn't so on how the center turned out I preferred
it how I had it before I played around as I said I don't think I was unhappy
with it per se when it was finished I think what happened particularly was
that the embossing sort of got slightly covered in color it didn't stay clean of
color so it kind of didn't look as white as well so that's where I wasn't as
happy anyway then as a finishing touch what I always like to do with things
like this is put like a shadow around the entire image so what I did was I
took the gray pen and I put it like a color palette at
the side and then really watered it down and just added this very faint shadow
around the edge but as you can see some were darker some were not but it just
gives it a bit of pop off the page and I think that really really works well I
just personally think that adds to it so then as you can see I cut that out using
my tattered lace dye and I think again that's come out really really well next
using the next-biggest dye up on this set of tattered lace dyes
I cut a square oblong rectangle whatever you want to call it from this iris
cardstock from creative expressions I thought that was just a perfect color
for this colors on the flowers here next I made a card base using my easy pc card
method I now use 1/2 is the iris and one part in the coconut white and then I've
just marked it because I was actually using some scrap of the iris so I didn't
have any exact size on the top fold there normally I'd do that half an inch
or an inch but I didn't have an exact amount so I just marked it with a pencil
and scored it and then just using the red line tape I've stuck that together
to create a gorgeous two-tone card and I just think that comes together really
really well um however I did think that the card back particularly it was just a
little bit floppy once I was putting the weight of the other layers on to the
front it would not be as strong so I added a center panel
again just using up scraps to the back there just adds a bit of stability and
then I had some little bits as you can see on the top there and also a little
bit of scrap that I put on the bottom just to create a design on the inside
again it adds a little bit of extra strength to the back but it also just
made the insight little cut a little less a dull when it was opened up and I
thought actually just even using those tiny little scraps it looked really
really well so I was pleased with that so then the next thing that I did was I
stuck my watercolor piece to the front of the iris cardstock and for this I
used the red tape now you want to use something strong like that and you want
to use a dry glue tape like that because the water color will be slightly kind of
wobbly the paper from being water colored so you want something that's
going to stick it down straight away and really strongly so it literally flattens
it out for you now I don't quite know what happened here but clearly I went
slightly off size and considering they were dyes they should have been perfect
anyway so I just had to chop a tiny bit off the top but that worked fine and
then all I did next was using some foam tape just to give a little bit of
dimension I have added those to the back and as you know I love using plenty of
foam tape and then using some cosmic shimmer on the backs of the foam just
because I always feel like always said that foam tape after time will
deteriorate the sticky tends to anyway in like central heating and stuff so I
always like to add something like the cosmic shimmer because then it helps
give that extra strength to the glue and it all makes your card stay together for
longer and if you see by adding all that foam there is not one single area even
as I'm pushing it down to stick it that's falling you know dipping down so
you know as why are you such a lot so next I decided I wanted to add some
little droplets and some sequins just to add a little bit
sparkle and yumminess to the card so all I did was position them where I wanted
them to be and using a tiny little dot of cosmic shimmer just moved the secret
out of the way put the dot down and then using my poker tool just put the sequin
or a little droplet back in place don't worry that you can see the glue at this
point it doesn't matter because the glue dries completely dry so don't worry
about that it will just show you look of dries completely dry of course II try
some clean dry dries completely clear so there it is done and I think those
sequins a perfect color as well and I love the little droplets I just added
two of those so that was it and I think it looks so pretty I was really really
pleased with that so I hope you like it too
