Online Card Class – Day 8

By Cards

onlinecardclass

Hi all,

Today marks day 8 of the online card class and I”m excited to try the newest technique I have learned. It involves using salt after watercolor/distressing. I used it on the tricolored piece of watercolor paper on my card and am intriqued by the results. I do like the effect, however, I think if I had used darker colors it would have been more dramatic. Anyhow, I think it’s an awesome technique and will keep it in mind for future cards.

Here is my card for day 8

His&Hers Day 3 (Masculine Card)

By Cards

Hi all,

For todays masculine card, we were given the tast to create a sentiment card. I found this to be quite challenging in that I didn’t really have any images to represente a masculine theme. I used what I had and tried to create a customized sentiment. I used the same technique as the female card. First I stamped the house image in a light toned ink and then watercolored above it.  Here is the result!

Thinking of You and Praying for You

Thanks for stopping by and see you tomorrow for day 4!

His&Hers Day 3 (Feminine Card)

By Cards

Hi all,

I’m on to day 3 of His&Hers and today’s lesson focused on stamping techniques for sympathy cards. Although there were several new techniques that I’d love to attempt and adapt into my arsenal  there was one in particular that I really wanted to try. The technique involves stamping an image in a light toned ink and then watercoloring (I used inktense pencils) to create a faux hand drawn image. I love the results I achieved and am happy to share my results.

Here is my feminine card:

You Are Special to Me

By Cards

Hi All,

For today’s card I wanted to play with a newer supply in my arsenol. For this project I wanted to use my new Derwent Inktense pencils. These pencils are fantastic! They act like watercolor in that they can be blended and intensified depending on how much ink you layer, but the colors are truly bright and bold as the name suggests. I love using a water brush directly onto the tip of the pencil to gain control of the color and then use it on my project. Another way to use the pencils is to color your project directly, and then use a brush to blend out.

Here is the finished product:
