Water colouring

QUICK TIP

*Dip the tip of a blender pen onto the corner of a Stampin’ Pastel, then apply the colour to the stamped image.


















OR

*Brush the tip of a blender pen, Aqua Painter, or wet watercolour brush directly on the tip of a Watercolor Wonder Crayon, then apply the colour to the stamped image.

OR


*Outline a section of the stamped image with a Watercolor Wonder Crayon, then use a blender pen, Aqua Painter, or wet watercolour brush to pull colour where desired.

OR

*Press the closed lid of a Classic Stampin’ Pad down against the ink pad, creating a small pool of colour in the lid then open the lid. Use a blender pen, an Aqua Painter, or a wet watercolour brush to lift the ink from the lid and apply to the stamped image.

I use the last method regularly, the stampin' up ink pads are the only ink pads i have seen with this unique design which allows you to use it as a paint pallet with no fuss.

For a softer look use an aqua painter or try using a blender pen for a more bold effect.

Singing Stampin' Up! praises again I love their aqua painters, I've bought a few before (other makes) and these have without a doubt been the best I've tried, the reservoir is flexible enough to not have to use much pressure at all so you don't have to "break them in" to be able to control the flow of water.
The Blender pens are a fantastic idea, if you have trouble controlling the flow of water from your aqua painter then you should give these a try, and are easily cleaned by just scribbling on a piece of scrap paper. The tip will look discoloured but will be clean and ready for use with the next colour.
