Hello everyone! I couldn't resist applying Gouache paint over the beautiful sunflower from Summer Flowers Stamp Set by Simon Says Stamp and share a card idea with you.

I love to explore new colouring tools and I have been playing with Gouache paint. I got the introductory kit with primary colours and I'm a newbie using this paints but I'm preparing a video to show you how easy is to mix the paint to create new shades and to add colours to cards.

The video will be available on my Youtube Channel here asap in case you want to have a look.  It is really an easy media to use and I'm kind of loving the results.  

I love the peach colours you can get by mixing red, yellow and white gouache paints.

I stamped the images on Canson watercolour paper using Distress Tea Dye ink and I applied the paints with brushes size 0, 2, 4, 6.

I  added a black banner as it seems to pop up a bit more.

I used SSS Stained Glass Love stamp set and I  heat embossed the sentiment using Nuvo Clear ink and Nuvo Fine Detail Embossing Powder.

Many hugs  and happy crafting

Hello everyone! it's me again and this time I'm sharing  another card using Summer Flowers Stamp Set by Simon Says Stamp 

I recently uploaded to my Youtube Channel here! a video to share a super cool technique to apply colored pencils on black cardstock . In the video I  also  showed in 2 minutes  how  I applied colours to the flowers in the card in the pictures today. 

The coloring technique I used  is quite addictive and I promise it is super easy.

I stamped the flowers with Clear Versamark ink, added a layer of soft pastels and then I applied colored pencils. It is amazing how the  Clear Versamark ink resist all those layers of colours! Love it!

I  also mentioned in the video that I'll share the finished card  and also a close up of the images... so here I go!

It is the end of the month  and STAMPTember®,  the biggest sale event at Simon Says Stamp  is about to end   but there is still loads of promotions available in the shop and many exclusive products will be ONLY available until supplies last so  that I would  also like to invite you to have a look.

Hello everyone,  I'm in love with the stunning Sun Flowers from Summer Flowers  Stamp Set by Simon Says Stamps!  it has the perfect images to share with you an old coloring technique using   Coloring Pencils and Artist Soft Pastels on black/ dark cardstock.

I was crazy to give it a try and apply it into cardmaking and stamping and I'm loving the results.

I have used Chameleon SET OF 25 Color Tones Double-Ended Colored Pencils, these pencils are WOW!  My mum used Premium Prismacolour Colored Pencils very similar than Faber Castell Polycromos.

Oh! Any black or dark paper will be ok just remember that the paper's quality affects a bit the results so try to get good cardstock. Any artist soft pastels ( chalks) or  Pastel Pencils will do the job.  I used inexpensive Darwent Soft Pastels. You can also try this technique with any colour pencils but if you are tempted to get the Chameleon just do it!! You won't regret it, they are lovely.

Psss...and you give a try to this technique LET'S SHARE!! Join my Facebook group here!
