Stampin Up Halloween style with Greeting card kids!
Good day! It's Tuesday all ready!
whow! Sooooo remember I said I was going to have something really special this week!
okay well this is going be part 1 of a 3 part series on watercolouring
I always get lot's of question on how I watercolour - so this is your lucky week he he
I am going to be doing three cards with the Greeting Cards Kids stamp set
I will be colouring each of the in different way to show you what we can do with watercolouring
the first one I did was a Halloween card - would you beleive I have never ever made one of these before!
I know crazy uh?
okay let me show you what I started with okay?
So I took out my stamp set - Stampin Up of course LOL
I also have my watercolouring pencils
watercolouring card stock
my blender pen and aquablender as well
so I stamped my three images with Black Staz On
I will work on the little pumpkin one!
when I use pencils I deposit colour only
what I mean by this is that I don't colour all the area
I deposit the colour in the area that I want it to be the darkest like above then
Then I take my blender pen and I start with the darkest area and work my way out
like this
I continue with the rest of the colours in the same way
now for the bottom fade area I use my stamp pad instead of the pencils
I also use my aquapainter
so I load up my aqua painter by rubbing the tip into the stamp pad
then I added some grass with my blender pen
what I did is run my blender pen across my ink pad to load my pen
and then created the grass
now for a cool fold
I will show you tomorrow how I did the fold
(yes that means no recipe)
I used Mr. Big Shot - for you Carey HE HE
I like this DSP
The colour I am using are
Old olive
Basic Black
Pumpkin Pie
I added some beautiful taffeta pumpkin pie ribbon and brad
I love it!
don't you?
now for some bling and I am almost done!
the first in the 3 part series
I really do hope that what I have showed you will help YOU!
the inside I just put a little greeting
"happy halloween"
I even added a little bling on the center of my brad!
cute uh
okay one more photo
Until tomorrow!
have a really terrifik day
embossed hug from me

This is by far the best Halloween card I've seen! Thank you so much for showing how to use the watercolor pencils...I have them and tend to color with them instead of just depositing the color in one spot. i will try this way next time! LOVE the spider web effect with the big shot...really cool card!Have a great one!

What a great card! Love the design and all the colours. I don't send Halloween cards but I love to do Halloween pictures. I just use them to decorate.

I love your card. Those kids are so cute! I have everything but SU watercolor paper. Will the regular stuff work if it's smooth? You made this look so easy. I gotta try it. I can't wait to see what's next.

What a cute card! The watercoloring you did is beautiful. I typically don't do Halloween cards, either. I do like that spider web EF. I think it would go well with a gardening theme if you didn't want to use it for Halloween.

Wow I learned something new. I always colored my image in the with pencils and then used the aqua painter. Will have to try laying down color. TFS

I love making Halloween cards...hopefully this will not be your last! That set is so cute and should be arriving at my door on Thursday!

You have NEVER made a Halloween card? You are kidding me aren't you? This one is absolutely spectacular. You are such a perfectionist to each detail and it shows by such wonderful creations. Thanks for sharing this with us. Say hi to my furry friends. Roscoe says come on down and play with him. The neighbors are cutting wood and he loves to go play with their 13 (yes I said 13) dogs when they do that. Then we could Sandi's three darlings and have a lot of doggies. Doesn't that sound like fun? Anyway, I love what you have done with the watercoloring. Thanks for all the fun you have shown us and the great ideas.

I agree with Celine -- it is magnicant and the colors (your watercoloring) is awesome.

BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial. You really do a great job with your watercoloring. It is beautiful! So, the watercoloring paper is a must have to do this?
Have a great day my friend! Extra love for Max and Goldie.
