Water colour

Morning all

The subject for this month is WATER COLOUR TECHNIQUES.

The first of the month has come around again very quickly with lots of great entries during October. Some of the people who have entered could better tell you about the techniques of water colour than I can. I have had little experience. Mixed Media is not my favourite part of paper crafting.
I have several items  I can use to create with Water colours, not that i use them very much except for my water colour pencils.I have Kaszazz Water colour pencils which i do use to colour my Card ImagesI have a Water colour paint set from Uniquely CreativeRanger Distress Crayons  and Kaiser craft Paints and MistsI usually leave the background painting  for my granddaughter to do. ( as she loves to play with paints) and always leaves me a supply when she comes to visit . I have only just run outHere are a couple of Images  that i have used in my cards and layouts with her  creating  the Back ground  with using some of the below techniques

With the card I have embossed it to bring our the colours

1)Technique of Colour Blending 

This is  experimenting with blending different colours together.First paint a shape or squiggle line with plain water only. Then dip the brush into the paint and add it to the watered area. Watch it spread, then clean your brush and choose a second colour. Apply this to the opposite end of your watered area and watch the colours blend together. You can move your paper side to side to help the water colour run together

2) Technique of SPLATTERING:

I do use this technique on my layouts, and is very messy and I hate messy, but not often
This technique makes quite a mess. I suggest covering any areas of your paper that you don’t want to be splattered. Load your brush with paint then hold it over the top of your paper. With the other hand, tap your brush and watch the paint splatter onto your paper. Rinse your brush, choose your next colour and splatter away. Or you can hold your paintbrush between your thumb and middle fingers. Using your index finger, pull back on the bristles and let them snap forward. This method is a bit unpredictable, but can yield some very fun results.

3)  Technique of Plastic 

Load an acrylic block  with desired paint then spritz with water,. Dab your piece of plastic ( used the plastic from packets of embellishments) into the colour and then place it onto your paper and smooch it down , continue placing it into your paint and onto your paper and smooching it, until the desired effect is obtained. Add water if require for the paint to drip

MY TECHNIQUE PAGE:

I have used each of the two of the techniques  (although  i would say not very well) on my layout. I think i am going to have  to watch more YOU TUBE VIDEOS. Before i attempt another one. 

I have used the plastic Technique on the outside of the page, splatters through out and each of the circles are coloured and then  water added to paint circles to give a shading effect

Growing

Morning all,

Yesterday, I was home alone, which meant i actually scrapped two layouts,Today is dull and overcast although quite warm so decided to do my two posts  from yesterday first thing and then  I just have one more item to complete before the end of the month.

My First post is the second sketch for the month for "Lets get Sketch" blog.Yesterday i was going through my book that i list all my challenges in, ensuring i had completed all that  i wanted to do ( I nearly forgot about this one ), I had  not written it up in my book, but had printed it out and found it tucked at the back.
I chose to use an old Kaisercraft papers as there was only a little bit left and it suited the sketch as it did not require much paper. The paper I used was  "Technologic". all the bits left were scraps left over. I have written the instruction as if you had full sheets. I have made many cards from the collection as well as several layouts, but still those bits i hate to throw out.

Aussie Christmas Card's

Afternoon all.

This second post is about an order i  received to make some more Australian Christmas card, whilst in the middle of the two cyber crops that i was trying to complete. They had to be in the mail on Friday. NO PRESSURE

(Yes they were mailed in time and yes i did finish the two cyber crops)

I only had 4 to make i already had the other two she wanted , plus another one i thought i would do as it had to be ready before the end of the month. I have not posted the picture of  it at this stage as it is for someone and they have not received it.

I used the Men on the Fence dye, May Gibbs stamp and Kasazz pens to colour them , I had  some  Koala's and Kangaroos left over from when i was making  the Napkin card so decided i would incorporate these bits. The paper background is from Kaisercraft "Open Road" Collection

I have also decided to use them as my third entry into the "Anything Goes Challenge", on the "Happy Craft Challenge blog spot

Afternoon all,

It's Friday, where has the week gone, a bit of sunshine today. I did get the washing dry and it's folded and put away.

I have been trying to blog  this layout for a couple of days, but life and  getting a decent picture made it difficult. I did take me a while to think about which photos i was going to use I decided on some very old ones. I have completed quite a large journal on the back of the page, due to the fact of the expansion of time, but thought these photos where right for this layout. I have taken a copy of them as well.

Maureen - October Card Sketch (Aust)

Hello Everyone,

A bit drier here is the south east we had a few sun showers today and that's about all, still very wet under foot. Was up early and succeed to get my chores done before the builders started this morning, i think they thought it was going to rain.

This morning I completed a layout , a simple sketch one, will blog it later. With the layout I wanted to use my scraps of Kaisercraft "Chase the Rainbows", when i had finished a had a few bits left over, as well as  a couple of pages in the 6.5"paper pad, only need one sheet from there.
I saw this challenge early in the month when i  entered the single page layout, into the "Stick it Down" blog spot challenge. (there is a double page as well). The card sketch was brilliant for my left overs. Made two using the sketch , plus two more. Now no  12" x 12" paper left. pr sticker sheet. no collectables either

Cut your largest rectangles in half (corner to Corner)

This will give  you three card bases (I have only used two)

ASSEMBLY:

Using your to cut large rectangles add the "Butterflies" to top right of one and bottom left on the other base , then in the opposite corner add "Tint" reverse and "Tone"to  each of your card base leaving an eight of an inch boarder.

At the join point used a thin strip of orange and one of green from the sticker sheet.

Using foam date start with the graduating circles  (see photo ) for further details of what i  have used on each add these to the rectangles on each card base.

Add butterflies from the sticker sheet and circle sentiment to each of the cards.

Added a few gems to butterflies

YOU NOW HAVE TWO CARDS: 

These cards are quick and simple and can be made from any coordinating pattern paper

I actually made four cards from my left overs and used some of the bits from the paper pad for sentiments in just under and hour with interruptions.

Afternoon all.

How is everyone on this wet Friday afternoon? It has cooled down considerably from yesterday. Thankfully we where not effected by yesterdays horrific storms here in South East Queensland. My heart goes out to the people who where.

This morning i sat at my craft table wondering what i was going to do with this challenge
THE MAIN COLOUR WAS ELEPHANT GREY , plus white, plus a sketch from another challenge page STICK IT Down Blog spot. White with One has joined forces this month with them

White with One it really  a challenge in its self  as you focus on the white and incorporate just one other colour.(not use a lots of colour like i usually do)

Searched through a couple of different collection and found what i wanted, I was thinking about cutting out elephants , no changed my mine, and went for hexagons. A more boyish choice for the photos i was using.

White with One blog spot  and Stick it Down blog spot

This month we are doing something a little different - that is a combined challenge with Stick it Down.  We will be using their sketch and they will be using our colour - combine them both and you can enter not only our challenge here on White..with 1 but also their challenge on Stick it Down for double the chance of a win.
