Waterdrops with Tutorial


Hi Everyone,

my blogging friend Coni from Which Craft? recently asked me how I do those water droplets by Ryn and asked me for a tutorial. So Coni, this is for you:



I made the background with Brushos - it was an experiment - I do think distress inks would be the best, but I was too lazy for sponging..... You have to use watercolor paper. Stamped the droplets with Memento Tuxedo black ink. That hold up better to water than Versafine, which I generally use



I then take a brush, brush the drop with water and immediately lift off color from the wet drop with a tissue. 


As I said - distress inks work better than Brushos.....but I still think you can see a sublte difference when you compare the first picture with this one:


The real effect you achieve with adding white highlights - my favorite pen is a white Sharpie


The whole process takes some time, but it is worth it!

Happy Stamping!

Wenn ich diese Karte anschaue, wird mir gleich etwas kühler, denn es ist unerträglich heiß und trocken hier.
Die Sonne brennt, alles verdorrt, im Garten sieht es schrecklich aus.
Vielleicht helfen deine Regentropfen etwas *hihi*
Liebe Grüße,
Flo

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am totally besotted with these drops and you're such a love to share your method with me. And this amazing card has me drooling. I have to go shopping now (for the Ryn's droplet stamp) or I'd stay and extol your virtues forever.

I, too, thought there was Glossy Accents on the water droplets. I have loved this stamp set sine I first saw it at a stamping event a year ago. Time to buy it. TFS how this is done, Cornelia!

Adding my applause to the others who commented *on time*! Slow poke me! Your water droplets are stunning; amazing how just a snippet of perfectly applied white ink makes such a difference. Thank you for the tutorial...clear and engaging! Love this! We could use some rain here; it's unusually hot (30C) and I'm sweltering!

I opened the frame on the side to have the butterflies and color spill out. Added lots of splatters and the heat embossed sentiment Your next stop on the hop is the talented Henriette - you are going to love her card!

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...
