24 Tags of Christmas 2014: Copic Faux Watercolor

December 13, 2014 by Sandy Allnock 94 Comments Filed Under: 24 Tags of Christmas, Copic Intermediate

We’re finally at the end of this series! It’s been so much fun – and WOW I can hardly believe how gracious you all have been with sharing your love! I really appreciate it…for a project this big and crazy, it’s an extra bit of work, so knowing that it’s been a blessing to you is extraspecial!

Today’s is likely my favorite technique…I’ve been playing with it for a while now, and the Hero Arts stamp set I’m using today as well as the Penny Black die (products all linked below) just screamed out to be used for it! And the Craftaboard is definitely the best surface to achieve the look – it’s worth picking up some to try it out. But before I show you the video, I really really really want you to read this next bit.

Okay now that you’ve read that, you’re safe to watch the video. If you want to see it in HD on YouTube, click HERE.

Here are stills of the tags close up…aren’t the colors just pretty? The photos were a little hard to take, they came out looking slightly pinker than they are in real life. But – if you WIN one, you’ll get to see it in real life!

And how might you win one? Leave comments here on the blog posts, or over on YouTube, and you can get bonus entries by sharing the videos or blog post on your social media (either tag me or leave a comment with the url in the comments section of the blog post). It’s not too late to go back and visit the week’s worth of posts and be sure you’ve got your commenting up to speed!

Thanks again so much for following along my tag journey this week! Many of you have already expressed concern that you’ll go through withdrawal….don’t worry. I’ll be back with Magical Monday in two days, so be sure to come back. 🙂

    I think that all of the tags you have done in this series are wonderful but I have to say these ones are my absolute favourites, they are stunning and look so sumptuous. Thanks Sandy for sharing your amazing designs and techniques with us all, I personally have learnt so much in the very short time that I have been following your blog. Wishing you and Mannie have a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year, from one of your UK subscribers.

    Sandy, I love these tags. I typically turn to Red and Green for Christmas cards and tags. This showed me how to
    ‘soften’ that look. Thanks.

    Hope it’s not too late to leave a comment and a chance to win a tag. I tried to submit a comment a couple of days ago while traveling but encountered a glitch. Anyway … I love this technique and cannot wait to give it a try. It is beautiful (like all is your designs)! And you make the technique look so easy.

    These are so gorgeous! I don’t have a water brush yet, and am wondering if a little bowl of colorless blender with a small watercolor brush would work. What do you think? Thank you for all the tag ideas and your wonderful videos.

    This has been a wonderful series. Although I did not use any of the techniques you showcased, the tags I made today turned out really well. Your tags inspired me to create better tags than I have in past years. I pick up so many little ideas from you that help me make prettier cards and keep card making fun.
