My toddler Emma and I are in love with the unicorn stamp in  Magical Birthday Stamp Ser by Simon Says Stamp  It offers beautiful images to enjoy colouring and adorable Birthday sentiments.

I used  Nuvo Brush Scrip Pens by Tonic Studios to apply a very simple watercolour technique on Bristol Paper and on coloured cardstock by Simon Says Stamp . I love the quick and easy results  and this is another video that will be available shortly on my Youtube Channel.



Using Tiny Space Heart Stencil by Simon Says Stamps I applied  Sapphire Blue Nuvo Glimmer Paste on the card base and I allowed to dry for over 1 hour.

I feel I have to apologise because I haven't been able to upload videos so often on my YouTube Channel as well as not being able to blog as much as I would like. 

The delay in my crafty activities is due to moving  home and  our  new house is very small so there is not space for a craft room. I have  been crafting on my dining table with all my supplies piled up in boxes and this is not productive at all as  I struggle to find things quickly :(

So  after changing our mind several times and budgeting everything we decided to get a log cabin and installed it at the bottom of our garden. 

 Here is a pic of the bare building .. it has been fully painted and decorating by my own 2 hands during the last 7 days  so it no longer looks like it does in the picture anymore. 

I added accents and interest by applying  Nuvo Drops and a Nuvo Gold Glitter Marker. I also used a White Uni- Ball pen to add dots on the Unicorn body and I applied   Nuvo Aqua Glimmer Pen all over the image ( being very careful as the inks can bleed).

At very last minute I decided to die cut a number 4 and added somehow to the card. I used Large Numbers Dies from Stampin' Up! and Bristol Smooth Cardstock.  I sponged the number with Duckling Ink by Simon Say Stamps and using Sunshine Ink by Simon Says Stamps I stamped the small stamps in the set all over the die cut.

When I placed the number on the front panel it really didn't work so I tried something else: I placed a piece of craft foam behind the watercolour panel and I run these 2 pieces through the Big Shot to make a window for a shaker and  by doing this  I got the window perfectly aligned in those pieces.

I sandwiched a piece of acetate between the craft foam and the back of the front watercolor  panel and I glued it down with Tombow glue.

I paste the stamped number on a piece of thin cardstock and I placed at the bottom of the  shaker window.  I  added  just a few sequins.

If you look at the number with attention you will see how cool Simon Says Stamps inks look like. It it hard to say that is a stamped piece of cardstock ...it actually looks like scrapbook paper.

I also used Scallop Stitches Wafer Dies by Simon Says Stamp to die cut a Pinky background.

I can't believe how beautiful and vibrant the ink of the Nuvo Brish Scrip Pens looks on coloured cardstock. The pens were amazing to colour the images of  More Spring Flowers Stamp Set by Simon Says... a very  easy, quick and pleasant watercolor experience.

I didn't even apply the pen's ink evenly as I was rushing out  and experimenting . The true about this card is that I  wanted to see  how the floral  images of the stamp set   will show up on light coloured  cardstock .   I liked the results so that  I decided to  go ahead  and finished the card to share it with you.  

• This pens offer great blendability options. You will find pens with  light and a darker  shade of the same ink tone in the collection:  e.g. a lilac  and a dark purple  so that you can easily add contrast and shadows using same ink colours.
• You can always blend the inks of different pens to get new colours e.g: blue +yellow to get green.  etc.
• You can always play and overlay colours (not need to blend them completely) just allow the ink to dry and then apply contrasting colour on top.
• The pen tip absolutely fantastic to apply colour to very small images and easy to blend on larger image so you won't  see the seams or marks where you have applied the pens.
• The pen's ink  didn't bleed to unwanted areas during application.
• This is a water based product so you can mix it with water to apply different techniques, the inks blend nicely and dry fast.  
• You can apply the pen inks directly on stamps and stamp with them  or apply it on a clear block  to splatter a background with a water brush.
• Nice pens for hand lettering and general drawing .

That's all! I hope you enjoy the projects today and to know a bit of new colouring tools.
