Studio Katia's Lovely Blooms - Framed No line Watercoloring with Watercolor Crayons

Hello Everyone!

I'm back today with a no line watercoloring project featuring the Lovely Blooms from the latest Studio Katia Release.

I loved how the coloring of these flowers turned out so I just had to frame it! Difficult to see from these photos, but the gentle shimmer is so pretty in real life. 

 I began by stamping the Lovely Blooms onto watercolor paper using fadeout ink. I then took the time to watercolor these blooms using some Shimmery Watercolor crayons that I had picked up from Michael's so long ago and hadn't used them, so it was about time. To turn the crayons into watercolors, I rubbed the crayon onto a watercolor dish, added a drop of water and mixed the pigment with the brush until I was happy with color and consistency of the watercolor.

I'm not going to lie, this watercoloring was a bit time consuming but I really did enjoy the process as I learn a little more each time and I find it very relaxing. Plus, I have been participating in Kathy Racoosins #thedailymarker30day challenge and this piece, of course, is one of my challenge pieces. I guess you only get better if you keep practicing and for me, I still trying to learn how to use all the different media I have 😉

Other than adding highlights with a white gelly roller pen and some glossy accents to a few of the flowers, that was it for this project. Sometimes less is more. Of course, this could easily still be turned into a card in the future.

Thank you all for joining me today, I hope this Framed No line Watercoloring of the Lovely Blooms with Watercolor Crayons was inspiring for you.

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

More Floral Friendship Cards ft. Big Friend Dies for Simon Says Stamp Good Vibes Release

Hello Friends!

I'm back again today with more Floral Friendship cards ft. the Big Friend Dies that just were released! I posted another card late last night using this very same die, so if you missed it, check out the previous post here.

For these small 4x4 cards, I did a no line watercoloring using Zig markers and a couple of older stamp sets from SSS. See links below for supplies used.

Initially, I had only planned on making one card but I couldn't waste the beautifully colored die cut from the top card. So I stamped out some more flowers, colored, fussy cut them and then came up with this bottom card below.

 I love how cute these cards turned out and I hope my friends will too!

Don't forget to stop by Simon Says Stamp to see all the new goodies from the Good Vibes Release!

I appreciate the time you spent here, so thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Floral Friendship Card ft. Big Friend Die for Simon Says Stamp Good Vibes Release

 It's finally here! Simon Says Stamp Good Vibes Release is Live and from what I have seen of peaks it is amazing!!!

Here is a Floral Friendship card I created with the Big Friends Die, one of the new dies released.

 This die does come with the shadow layer, but for this card, I chose not to use it. I will share a few more cards tomorrow with the shadow layer.

As you can see I also used a bunch of older SSS products to highlight this die. I will have a complete list of all of them below. To color my images in I pulled out my Prismacolor pencils.

Make sure you stop by Simon Says Stamp to check all the new products Released!

I appreciate the time you spent here and I hope you got some inspiration from this Floral Friendship card. Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
