Now that you got a look at all the yummies, let’s jam with my two projects….both with very different coloring techniques!

Watercolor a white poinsettia

I have a video today for this first card – I used distress inks with the Mondo Poinsettia stamp set and matching die set! In the video you’ll see a few tricks to help make your watercoloring a little easier…I discovered that leaving my diecut in place in the paper it’s cut from helped to keep it still as well as serving as a palette! Watch the video below or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube.

I’m excited to start playing around with foil in coming months as the holiday season is rolling around…I kinda skipped it when everyone else got their laminators, even though I have one. I figured I’d save myself a new technique to play with for Christmas!

Are you ready for another card after all that sweet watercoloring? Let’s jump over to another season: halloween!

Sandy Allnock - Color a pumpkin patch

Color a pumpkin patch with Copics

My second card uses this sweet little halloween stamp set called Got Candy – I love non-scary cards for  halloween! Even the ghosties here are just adorable. On Thursday I’ll have the video posted to show you how to color this one – including all the perfect Copic colors to use for pumpkins. If you “need” (ha) this stamp set, drop it in your cart today while you get the poinsettias so you’re ready to roll when the video lands in your inbox. That moon, which opens to reveal a surprise sentiment, is from THIS die set from last year. #justcallmeyourenabler LOL! #sorrynotsorry

Supplies for pumpkin patch:

  • Got Candy stamp set and Mini Windows die set
  • Copic markers (Pumpkin colors in case you’re placing orders today: YR04 YR18 E19)
  • Foam tape, Glossy Accents, 2″ post it tape
  • Airbrush, and my Airbrush Buyers Guide

    My parents had white poinsettias at their wedding since they married on Dec. 23. I’d love to try this technique for their 64th anniversary card. I’m sure the Wink of Stella makes it just gorgeous!
