Fun with Watercolor

Hi!
I have seen a lot of crafters using the watercolor technique and I have always wanted to try it out. I finally got my hands on the Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock from Simon Says Stamp. The cardstock is really thick and it has a smooth side as well as a textured side so you can have really different effect depending on which side of the cardstock you use.

So I made three cards using the watercolor technique and I tell you I am loving this technique. I have always been bad with watercolor since my schooling years and I believe I still suck at it now but I am sure I can improve over time because it is such a fun technique.

And the result wasn't too bad either, I guess? What do you think?

The first 2 cards, I stamped the images in Stazon Jet Black ink and colour in the images using Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads. I pressed the ink pads onto the craft sheet and pick up the inks using a wet paint brush.

The third card, I stamped the flower image using Versamark and embossed the image using white embossing powder. Then I pressed the Distress Inkpads onto the craft sheet and pick up the ink using a wet paint brush. I just randomly colour the whole cardstock.

Below are the supplies used in creating these cards:

Actually I have purchased some other products from Simon Says Stamp during their Mother's Day promotion and I even recorded a craft haul video to share with you what other products I have purchased but I am too embarrased to post it up because the quality and performance is really bad. Maybe when I have learned some video editing skills and improved my narration skills, I will share them with you.

That's all for the update today.
Thank you for stopping by and do drop by for another update this Sunday.
