DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #222: Beautiful You Watercolor Pencil Ruffles!

It's time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge.  This week we're having a "Product Spotlight" challenge.  

DOSstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #222-Product Spotlight

You're gonna love today's card!  I saved it for sharing today, as it features the Watercolor Pencils.  Earlier this year I did a presentation of Watercolor Pencils Techniques at a local Stamp Share for Leaders Meeting.  One of the techniques I shared, I learned from fellow demonstrator, Tandra Boyer, Watercolor Pencils Ruffles!

See below for the step-by-step instructions and a great photo tutorial too! 

Beautiful You Watercolor Pencil Ruffles Technique

  • Use sticky note to mask off the "skirt" part of the stamp image.  Ink stamp with Archival Basic Black ink.  Remove sticky note.  Stamp on 3-3/4" x 5" Shimmery White paper (or Watercolor Paper)
  • With Melon Mambo Watercolor Pencil...color hat and bodice, then draw "scribbly" lines to create the skirt.
  • With a wet Aqua Painter, blend skirt.  With a drier Aqua Painter, blend hat and bodice.
  • Optional, but cute...use Clear Wink of Stella to blend and add glimmer to skirt.

This Watercolor Pencil technique is so much fun - you'll have to give it a try!  It did take me a couple of tries to get the shaping of the skirt.  But once I was happy with that, I was able to get several cards done rather quickly.  These would be great for a special birthday or even a bridal shower, right?

Enjoy~Dawn O
