Today I am going to show you how to make a card using water colouring pencils to colour in a stamped outline image.
One of my favourite techniques is water colouring images so I am going to show you how to make a card using water coloured images. I do love how you can get different results by using water colouring pencils and a water painter so much so I did a YouTube to show you how to do this.
How I made my card using water coloured images.
First I cut a square of water colour paper and stamped the flower image and the butterfly image from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set onto water colour paper using Black Memento Ink. Next I coloured in the butterfly and flowers using Balmy Blue, Blue, Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy water colouring pencils. I then used a water painter to blend in the petals. Next using Granny Apple Green and Old Olive water colouring pencils I coloured in the leaves and Garden Green water colouring pencil for the stems. Again I used the water painter to add water to blend in the leaves.
Once the image was dry I went over the butterfly with Wink of Stella to make the wings shimmer. I also made the butterfly body a bit darker using the Basic Black write marker.
Once I was happy with how with my stamped coloured images I then added a border by running the edges across the Azure Afternoon ink pad.
I then cut a smaller piece of water colouring paper for the sentiment and stamped the ‘Thanks’ using Azure Afternoon ink. Again I added the boarder by running the edges across the Azure Afternoon ink pad.
How I finished my card using water coloured images.
First I cut a portrait Basic White Thick card base. Next I cut a strip from the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Papers and stuck it to the left hand edge of the card base. I then added both the pieces of stamper water colour paper to the card front using Stampin Dimensionals. Finally I coloured some Rhinestone Gems using the Azure Afternoon Blends and added them to the card front.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing the card that I made using water coloured images. Why not have a go yourself and share your card onto my Facebook page.
Until next time, keep stampin n crafting,
