Bee Inspired New Release Week: Fa-La-La-Liday Hat Trio

Bee Inspired New Release Week: Fa-La-La-Liday Hat Trio

Bee Inspired New Release Week: Fa-La-La-Liday Hat Trio

October 30, 2018 Posted by Jo Ann Danchik Cards, Christmas, Copics, Distress Inks, Holiday

The Honey Bee Stamps Design Team has an exciting week of projects to share with you featuring the new DEERLY LOVED Release. You can find all the new stamp sets, dies, stencils, and sequins HERE.

Today I am featuring three products from the new release. I started out using the Rectangle Windows Die. I cut the windows out of a 5.5” x 3.25” piece of #80 Neenah cardstock. You can cut the dies apart, and use them separately, but I chose to leave them attached. I laid the cutout windows on top of another piece of cardstock and lightly traced the openings.

I stamped the images, from the Snow Buddies Stamp Set, using Copic friendly Gina K Designs Amalgam Ink.

I know there are those of you who love to know the colors…so I wrote them down!
Santa’s Hat and Scarf: R24, R27, R29, R39 WOO, W1, W2, O
Ladies Hat and Flower: E31, E34, E35, E49, BG11, BG32, BG34, BG49 V22, V25, V28, BV20
Top Hat and Tie: C2, C4, C6, C8, C10 G14, G16, G19, G29 R24, R27, R29, R39

The lightbulbs were the same reds and greens and cut with the coordinating Snow Buddies Die Set.

I erased the pencil lines and added a light bit of shading with a finger dauber and Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

The sentiment is from the Fa La La Stamp Set. It was stamped onto Desert Storm Khaki cardstock, using Versamark Ink, and heat embossed with Hero Arts White Detail Embossing Powder.

To finish the card I added strips of Tim Holtz Christmas Deco Sheets and Desert Storm Khaki cardstock to the top and bottom edges. Scotch Foam Tape was added to the back of the cutout panel and to the part of the sentiment that hangs over the opening. This was then added to the colored panel.

The light bulbs were added to the front using a Gina K Designs glue pen and the panel was attached to a #110 Neenah cardstock card base, using a Kokuyo Tape Runner.

Be sure to check back each day this week for more inspiration with the new release.

As always, thank you for sharing a bit of your time with me today on another creative journey.

Joyfully, Jo Ann

A study in two different mediums… Tim Holtz WC D A study in two different mediums…
Tim Holtz WC Distress Pencils -v- Windsor & Newton Cotman WC Paints. 👩‍🎨🎨
—————
1. On the right is my original painting using W & N paints. I mixed equal parts Intense Blue and Cadmium Red Pale Hue to make black. I added additional water and thinned down washes to the bird to make the blooms and drips. As the paint thins out it creates lovely bluish tints.
2. On the left I used Tim’s WC Pencils. Distress Black Soot Ink has the unique property of maintaining its true black color as it’s thinned with water. The pencils do as well. Hmmm 🤔 To remedy this I quickly made a thin wash with Prize Ribbon while the painting was still wet. I alternated adding thinned blobs of the black and blue wash until I got the desired results.
—————
The more I study it…the more I prefer the raven on the left! Do you have a favorite?

When you still have your new pencils out…but hav When you still have your new pencils out…but have no idea what to do with yourself. Cleaning your mess is not the answer. 😜 Then out of the corner of your eye you see Tim’s new “Unraveled” stamp set from Stamper’s Anonymous and some leftover scraps of watercolor paper. You just start to paint. Not sure what it will become when I fussy cut it. Mum(my)’s the word! 🤫

1. Stamped with Antique Linen Distress ink for no line painting.
2. Antique Linen says it all. It’s in the name! But it was too dark so I made a wash and added some Picket Fence to lighten it. The brown is a mix of Walnut Stain and Black Soot.

Still testing out the new Tim Holtz Distress Penci Still testing out the new Tim Holtz Distress Pencils. And how much fun is Tim’s new “The Scarecrow” stamp set from Stamper’s Anonymous? 🧡

(Swipe right for process pics)
1. I stamped the scene using Antique Linen Distress Ink for no line painting with the watercolor pencils.
2. I realized that I put the sun on the right but the shadows on the scarecrow are also on the right. 🤔 Simple fix. I wet the shadow lines and lifted them with a paper towel. The crow and the plaid shirt are my favorite parts!!
3. I wanted to create some color blends so I made some heavily pigmented washes.
4. I wasn’t sure how to add a background at this point without a lot of masking. I carefully flooded the paper with water, avoiding the painted areas, and floated in several different light color washes.

I know…I know…no posts for 2+ years and now he I know…I know…no posts for 2+ years and now here I am posting again! 😜 I would have made this a reel, but after an hour of trying to figure it out I gave up. 🫤

After painting the cat, crow, and bats yesterday I immediately thought of Tim Holtz’s new “Gothic Tapestry” skull from Stamper’s Anonymous. And I wanted to play with my new Distress Pencils some more…of course I did!

I stamped a partial picture using Hickory Smoke Oxide ink. The watercolor paper (140lb cold press) was very textured so the impression is sketchy at best, but I didn’t need a lot of details.

I love it! (Hubby thinks that it looks like Chewbacca!! 😂) 

We are going to need open stock on the black pencil!! @ranger_ink @tim_holtz @stampersanonymous #timholtz #stampersanonymous #distress #distresspencils #watercolopencils
Part Two I tested several of my favorite watercolo Part Two
I tested several of my favorite watercolor pencil methods still using the Windsor & Newton professional cold press 140 lb watercolor paper. High quality paper is oftentimes more important than the quality of paint in getting good results.
1. The first swatch is pencil scribbled directly onto the paper and activated with a water brush. The Seedless Preserves is highly pigmented but a little harder to break down and dissolve. Darker reds and purples sometimes behave this way.
2. The second swatch is dipping the tip of the pencil in the water and smoothing with a wet brush. This delivers a large pigment load. You can also run a wet brush over the tip of the pencil  and then paint. These offer very smooth results.
3. The third swatch is a wash. I like to create a controlled wash. Yes…you can do this easily with pencils. Add a few drops of water to a porcelain well. Run your water brush over the tip of the pencil and swirl it into the water. Repeat multiple times until you get the paint to water ratio that you want. With a wash you can add many layers to your painting.
4. The top picture shows how well the colors lift. This is useful info for adding highlights and shading or if you accidentally drop color in an unwanted area. Being Distress Inks, they don’t appear to react quite the same to water droplets as regular Distress Inks. They do lift when dry, but some colors stain more than others.

Part One I have been watching for the UPS driver a Part One
I have been watching for the UPS driver all week. When my package of Distress Pencils arrived yesterday afternoon I nearly snatched it from their hands! 😂
I work a lot with different watercolor paints, pencils, and crayons so I was eager to play with them. I used Windsor & Newton professional cold press 140 lb watercolor paper to test them. It’s bumpy so you get a lot of white space when you scribble on the pigment.
1. As I tend to layer colors I immediately put them into color families. I know that you like to dig for them Tim but I need them in color order and don’t have your patience. You are a “hunter” and I am a “gatherer.” 😜
2. I swatched them out…not only to have a chart but to check on several properties. It shows me how easily the different colors dissolve on the paper but also how they “water down” into a wash near the bottom of the swatch. The black line shows their transparency. Most colors are highly pigmented, yet transparent, and easy to dissolve.
So far I am loving them!!! (More in next post.)

I have been doing a lot of watercoloring this summ I have been doing a lot of watercoloring this summer and thought that I might start posting again. (I haven’t shared my art work socially in over 2 years.) I painted these three Halloween Decoration Cards this morning using Windsor & Newton paints. They are from an older Michael’s class (free) taught by Mandy Peltier. They were a hoot to paint!

Sometimes it is hard to step back, reevaluate, and Sometimes it is hard to step back, reevaluate, and admit that you need to see things differently!! These are powerful phrases that I intend to learn and to use gracefully.
