Watercoloring Day . . .with Prisma Pencils and Zig Clean Color Pens

Hello Everyone. . .

Today I decided I needed to practice my water coloring skills, seeing I haven't pick up a brush much in the last few years.

I thought I would start back with the easiest routes, Watercolor pencils, Zig pens, and a water brush.

This first card I used an ALTENEW stamp set - Persian Motifs.  I colored the flowers with Prisma pencils and a water brush on Canson watercolor paper. 

I first stamped the images with Versa Mark clear ink and white embossing powder for the outline of the images.  After I finished the coloring I added some Wink of Stella clear glitter pen accents, and some white dots from my Bright White Gelly Roll pen .  The sentiment is one from Crafters Companion.   In the end I outlined each image with a Copic Alcohol marker - C1 so the images would pop off the card more. I mounted the card front on a piece of fun foam.

 

The second card I struggled with finding the color combo that I wanted to color the images with.

I used another ALTENEW stamp set - Needlework Motif, and same sentiment from Crafters Companion. 

I used my Zig Clean Color water coloring pens on this one, along with my water brush.  First I embossed the outline of the images with more white embossing powder.  After coloring I  accented the flowers with my Wink Of Stella clear glitter pen again and added a bunch of black ink dots around various points of the image.  I also outlined this image with a Copic Alcohol pen - C1.  At the end I decided to make two score lines on all four sides of the image to make it pop more, and mounted it on fun foam.

 Hope you liked them.  I'm still on the fence for card #2.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great week. . . . . . .
