Today’s card started with the Oh My Whiskers Stamp Set. I used the kite and a kitten during the sneak peeks and just can’t get enough of this set. Is there anything cuter than a couple of kittens in a “wellie?”

The image was stamped, using copic friendly Gina K Black Amalgam Ink, onto #80 Neenah cardstock. It was die cut using the coordinating Oh My Whiskers Die Set. I have included the copic colors for those who I know like to know:

Boot (Wellie)
Y04, Y06, Y98, Y15, Y17, Y19
R39, R24, R27, R29
Pail
C1, C3, C5, C7, C9
Flowers
V12, V15, V17
YO4, Y08, Y19
B04, B05
E55, E57, E59
Leaves
YG13, YG17, YG09
Kittens
R20, W0, W2, W4, W6, W8
R20, E21, E23, E25, E29
Berries
R29

One of my favorites in this release is the Watercolor Lines Die. I cut it from Tim Holtz Watercolor paper. It was painted with a #6 DaVinci Cosmotop Spin brush using Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean, and Wilted Violet Distress Inks. The inside pieces will be saved for another project.

To give the piece dimension, I cut three more pieces from #80 cardstock and layered them using a Hero Arts Glue Pen. This is much easier and faster than cutting pieces of foam tape.

The sentiment is from the Cherish Stamp Set. It was stamped on Hero Arts black cardstock and heat embossed with Hero Arts White Detail Embossing Powder. Remember to use an anti static powder tool before stamping on dark cardstock.

The Cherish was cut from black cardstock using the coordinating Cherish Die Set. I cut three additional pieces and glued them together using a Hero Arts Glue Pen.

Scotch Foam Tape was added to the back of the image and the sentiment strips.

All the pieces were glued to a #110 Neenah cardstock folded card base. The kittens eyes were enhanced and freckles added using a Black and a White Gelly Pen.

I added hearts to the boots using Honey Bee Clay Hearts. I wanted them a darker red so I colored them with a R29 Copic marker.

Seriously, the cute factor of these kittens is off the chart! They have a puppy set as well for the dog lovers. Be sure to check it out.

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?

@tim_holtz @ranger_ink #timholtz #distress #distressinks #distresspencils
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! 🤫

(Swipe left for process pics)
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.

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.
