I look forward to the Concord & 9th release on the 9th of each month. They are my style of stamp company. February's release had a different product, Tintables. Tintables have an embossed area that resists watercolor or inks. You get four of each design.
The first card I made was ink blending Distress Oxides. I used Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron. I was careful not to blend the center so that I wouldn't get green.
I did the same thing for my next card but used Picked Raspberry instead. Once again, I was careful not to create orange. The inks went on very smooth. The Tintables are made of watercolor paper.
My third card uses Seedless Preserves. I was rather nervous on getting too close in the middle. The yellow green and purple would have made brown. This time I went outside my comfort zone and splashed some water on it. I also sprayed it with Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spritz.
By the time I got to the fourth, I was tired of blending. I pulled out my Heidi Swapp Color Shine. I used the Rose and Teal. Instead of spraying, I used a watercolor brush to spread the color.
This next card is a little complicated to explain on how I did it. I was creative with masking with old washi tape. Luckily, I have a video showing how to do this. It was worth the time and washi to create it.
This last card I used the new Hero Arts Liquid Watercolors. I mixed a few drops of different colors to try and create my custom colors. Finally, I used Little Things from Lucy's Cards Jewels to embellish the cards as a final touch.
I have been trying to do a better job at taking pictures. So last week I ordered the new Foldio 3. It is larger than the Foldio 2. But it allows me to use my back drops from The Ton. I just plan to leave it set up on this school desk in the corner. However, in taking my pictures I learned that I need a better lens to blur out the background. Hopefully, I can Debby Hughes my pictures soon. In the mean time, I will have to just practice.
Thanks for stopping by!!
