Burst of Colors

Hello stamping friends , hope you are all having a great Thursday. Here I am today with some more Whimsy - Wee inspiration for you. This is Sweetie ...well that fits her pretty well, don't you think?! :-)   I colored her using Kuretake/ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens and my new traditional Japanese water colors Gansai Tambi, also from Kuretake. I love these. They are very opaque, bright and have an almost buttery consistency. Quite different from normal watercolors.  The image was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black onto Fabriano Artistico Extra White, hot pressed, 100% cotton, watercolor paper.  I also added some shabby white embossing enamel around the image and on the mat frame. The sentiment is from Clearly Whimsys "Into The Woods" set. Thanks for visiting,

Today I want to show you a card I made using 3 different Clearly Whimsy stamp sets and a matching Shapeology die set. I used the Clearly Whimsy Just a Note set which was released in January and the older Say What set. I also used the matching Say What Speech Bubbles Die Set , it is on sale at the moment here in the Whimsy Store. The sentiment and xoxo border was stamped using the Clearly Whimsy Everyday Mini Sentiments. I colored using my Kuretake Clean Color brush pens and the paper is from an Authentique paper pad called Lovely.  Thanks for stopping by hugs,

Hello All and Happy Sunday! I tried a new technique today, well new for me that is.....no line coloring using water colors. I only did the no line technique with Copics so far. At the moment I am pretty addicted with my Kuretake Clean Color Brush Pens :-) so I thought I would give this a try.    Frog Prince is this cute image called, illustrated by Sylvia Zet - Wee Stamps for Whimsy. In my opinion it is a bit more challenging to use the no-line technique with watercolors than with Copics. Because of the very light outline you have to be very careful while coloring and only use a damp, almost dry, brush to blend the colors. It's also pretty time consuming. But I have to say I like how it turned out. To better showcase the image I kept my embellies  to a minimum. Hugs,
