A take on No Line Colouring - Colourific Inspiration

Hello Bloggers
And welcome.

Today I want to share a take on "No Line" colouring.
As per usual I have used stamps from Colourific, and this time I used the
Hydrangeas set.
Its a technique I love the look of but just never got the hang off. I'm not a whizz at colouring in anymore, simply because I stopped doing it as it was so time consuming. Instead I now use watercolours as I love the look and also as its so much faster than markers.

 

Anyway. I was playing the other day and decided I wanted my flowers to be colourful, so I stamped the flowers with Distress Oxide inks. It looked pretty but I wanted more colour so I went ahead and used the same colour inks as the stamped lines, to colour with. I simply pressed the ink pad on to my craft mat and used a water brush to colour in with.

The oxide ink leaves an oxidiced look to the colours.. hence the name I'm guessing lol, but it gives the colouring a bit more life. As I used the same colour the lines blure into the colouring.

It was an easy way to achive the look but I also believe its may be a good starting point to really learn this technique.

Mixed media card - Colourific Inspiration

Hello Bloggers
and welcome to my blog.
Its once again Wednesday and my turn to share some  inspiration using the amazing stamps from Colourific.  Ive used a selection of stamps for the mixed media card Ive made for today. You can find them all in the STORE.




I started by adding distress ink to my background. I used water colour card stock to make sure it could take enough water to make the colours blend.

I used Archival black ink to stamp strait onto my background. I used the A6 Borders and Stems and the A6 Grunge background.

I stamped the butterfly and the sentiment from the A5 Butterflies take flight set on to scrap watercolour card stock and also used distress ink to colour, but this time i used a homemade silver mist spray as my water. This has given the sentiment and the butterfly a bit of sparkle.

I cut out the butterfly and added to my card base using foam tape.
The sentiment I cut into single words and added scattered around the card.

This is such an easy way to make a mixed media look to a card and can be done using any stamps you have in your stash.

And that is all from me for today.

Brand New DT, Brand new stamps.. COLOURIFIC STAMPS

Hello Beautiful People..

And welcome to my blog..

Today is my very first post for a brand new design team I have been invited to join.
Colourific

I am super excited to join the team, and look forward to share all my creations.
The stamps are made from clear photopolymer and are really easy and nice to work with. I found they stamped perfect from very first try.

This card is made on water colour card stock as I had a play with distress ink and water. I added distress ink strait to my acrylic block and spraid it with water. I then put my card stock over the acrylic block and let the colour seep into the card for a few seconds before removing the card again. I let the card to air dry.
While the card was drying I stamped my butterfly from the "Butterflies take flight" stamp set.
I used the distress ink left on my acrylic block to colour in my butterfly. I just used a water paint brush to mop up the colour..

Then it was time to assemble my card. I used my Misty to add the sentiment, also from the "butterflies take flight". I fuzzy cut my butterfly and shaped the wings a bit and glued her onto the card. And I finished with a few gems..

And Voila, thats it. First card of many made.
I hope you will check out the BRAND NEW stamp release from Colourific and do let me know if the comment section if I have inspired you to try out the stamps or the tecnique Ive used.
