Supplies:

1 - 6" x 6" Solid Color Card

1 - 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" Striped paper for background

1 - 1" x 6" strip of patterned  card stock

1 - 1" x 3" strip solid paper
1 - 2 1/2" x 4" white Glossy card stock to stamp image on
1 - 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" patterned card stock for matting stamped image
1 - 3" x 4 1/2" solid card stock for double matting image
2 -  6" pieces of ribbon

brads
and flowers for embellishments
Stamp: "A Little Bit of Country" by  Sarah Kay Stampavie

Instructions:

Today I thought I would share with you an image that was colored using Spectrum Noir Alcohol Ink Markers on Glossy Card stock.  Although, this is not a recommended technique I decided to see how it would turn out.  Having an extensive background and experience with artistic painting, I found the look to be quite intense and rich and the feel was smooth.  It allowed for a longer drying time of the ink so I was able to move it around and blend it in ways not typical of regular card stock.  

Stamp your image onto Glossy Card stock.  Using your Spectrum Noir Alcohol Ink Markers color the image as follows: 

Boy

Boots EB1,EB7

Pants TB1,TB2,TB9

Shirt  CR8,CR10,CR11

Vest IG1,IG2,IG4

Holster EB1,EB7

Hat EB1,EB7

Hair TN7,TN8,EB8

Dress CG1,DG2,DG4

Hat GB8,GB10,EB5

Bow, Patch, Trim and Hat CR8,CR10,CR11

Patches CT4

Skin

"What's the Buzzz?" Watercolor by Tammy G Weir

by

Tammy G Weir

1-6" x 6" Blank Card

1-5 1/2" x 5 1/2" Patterned paper

1-5" x 5" piece colored cardstock paper

1 - 2" x 5 1/2" strip of paper cut from patterned paper

1- 2" x 2" strip of paper to stamp phrase onto

1- 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" strip to mat phrase

3 - Classic Scallop Circles (cut one each of the 3 larger sizes from

                                               different colored cardstock)

Foam Tape

Adhesive

Brads

Gold Acrylic Paint

Water Color Pencils

Watercolor Brush

Stamps Used:  Great Impressions StickableStamps 

                           July Stamp of the Month:  #C4358 "What's the Buzzz?"

                                                                          #F529S Beehive

Spellbinders Nestabilities:  Classic Scallop Circles Large

Cuttlebug Texture Folders:  Stars

                                                Cheetah

Paper:  "Sweet Days" collection by Echo Park Paper Co.

Instructions:

 

To watercolor your image merely stamp your image onto smallest of the 3 Scalloped Circles once stamped using your Cheetah texture folder run your stamped image through your Cuttlebug or die machine this will  give more texture to the image .  Using your watercolor pencils begin coloring in your image.  I typically begin in the center using lighter colors first and then blending in the darker colors as I go.  Once I have an area complete I then use my watercolor brush and water to smooth out the color and move highlights around, allowing to dry in between time.  

  Once dried you can embellish with brads,glitter, etc.

Using the photo above you can now begin building your card.  Take the 5" x 5" piece of colored cardstock and texturize it using the Stars texture folder.  I then cut each corner of the square going in 1" FROM THE POINT.  The pieces that are cut off are then used as photo corners.  

Stamp your phrase, mat it and I used several layers of foam tape to give it a 3-D effect.

to create the gold dots I used the end of my stylus dipped it in gold acrylic paint and "stamped" it on the corners.
