Video tutorial on how to create a colourful card using watercolours, stamps and dies...

Lou here today and firstly, Happy 1st August everyone. Simply cannot believe how this year has developed wings and flown by...

Here's  a quick but effective way to colour a stamp set I am working with - "Queen of Hearts" DL Collage clear stamp set.


Although I have chosen to use water colours, this technique would work with all your different inks eg: distress, oxide or alternatively, using your alcohol marker pens.

Below are a selection of close up photos show casing different aspects of my finished card. You may notice that after I completed my card on the video, I have added a few "extras"; sequins and highlights using a white pen.


I'd love to see how you interpret this technique so please do share your projects by leaving a comment on this post or alternatively sharing in the Polkadoodle Facebook group - Polkadoodles Craft and Colouring Group.

Until next time,
Lou
