Finished Watercolor Project

Welcome Fellow Crafters!

I hope everyone is enjoying their week so far, of course we are only 2 days in so hopefully nothing too catastrophic has occurred yet.  I just wanted to post the final project that I demoed on the video that I posted last week...

I finished coloring in the flowers, then used one of the Spellbinder dies to cut it out.  I put foam tape behind the image to pop it off the card.  The butterfly and gold trim and all embellishments from Paper Artsy and are made of lightweight paper.  I just love them.

Hopefully I have inspired a few of you to give watercolor a try.  See what you have in your stash, any medium that is water soluble will work, and invest in a small amount of watercolor paper.  This will make you a lot happier with your efforts.

Have a wonderful evening and I'm off to watch the finale of Dancing With the Stars - go Meryl and Max!

Watercolor with Tombows

Happy Hump Day Y'all!!
OK, so a friend of mine kind of gave me a creative kick in the butt and I've started to do instructional videos.

This first one is about watercoloring with Tombow markers. They are a great marker plus are water soluble, so for the novice watercolor artist like myself, these markers lend themselves beautifully to achieving the desired results. Cause let's face it, who wants to invest a ton of cash into a medium that we find we can't work with and don't like!

If you have any other questions, just fire me off an email in cyberspace. Now don't expect Ron Howard quality movies. These videos are me, as I am, teaching as I would teach a live class.
I also seem to be having problems uploading them to the blog directly, so here is the YouTube link to the video, Tombow Watercoloring

Enjoy and happy crafting!
