Then Comes the Sun



Hey everyone!  I'm over on the Neat & Tangled blog today sharing this card.

I used a no-line color/painting technique with my Fractal Cloud set.  The cloud was stamped with Antique Linen distress ink (I would have used gray...if you saw my craft space this would not be shocking).

Then I painted the cloud in using my black Kuretake Gansai watercolor pan, just varied how watered down the pigment was for each section.



The set comes with these great gemstone like raindrops, but I wanted the focus to be just on the cloud and sentiment, so I painted in a some very thin subtle rain drops instead of using the stamped images.

The painting takes a bit of time, but if you've wanted to try no-line watercoloring, it's a discrete shape, and all straight lines, so it's a good one to try the technique out on.

Hope you are having a great day!

Neat & Tangled Release Week - Day 2 - Giveaways


Welcome back for Day 2 of release week!  You guys loved the Heart of Gold stamp set and die, so I wanted to create something similar in a non-basic shape.  I love clouds, and I thought that it would be the perfect shape to use.

The die comes with both a solid cloud and the webbed one.  For this card I cut the solid shape from both vellum and blue cardstock, and the webbed one from some very subtle patterned paper.  They were adhered offset to one another.


For the stamped panel I first added a wash of watercolor using Dylusions Ink Sprays, and then I stamped some of the raindrops (they are two sizes of these) and then the sentiment.  

The stamped panel is popped up as is the cloud piece.  

Want the details on the giveaways?  Well each day of our reveals (Monday - Thursday) Danielle is hosting a giveaway on the Neat & Tangled blog.  In addition, she's picking one random commenter from the DT blogs throughout the reveal for a $25 credit to the store.

I'm also hosting some giveaways here for some of my new products.  Just leave comments throughout the week and I'll draw some winners at the end of the week.
