A Fun Water Coloring Technique

This water coloring technique is so fun and so easy!

Supplies:

Water Color Pencils (click to order)

Blender Pens (click to order)

Staz-On Permanent Ink Pad (click to order)

Water Color Paper

1) Stamp the image with permanent ink onto water color paper.

2) Use water color pencils to pencil-in desired color to each area. You do NOT need to color in the entire area.

3) Blend the color with the blender pen. Wipe off the tip of the pen until it wipes clear before moving on to blend another color. Even though the tip of the blender pen might be stained, as long as the blend wipes clear, the stained tip won't matter.

4) Attach the water-colored image to your finished project.

You'll feel like Rembrandt. Promise.

Stationery for the Faux Suede Box

(You can find the tutorial for the faux suede box HERE.)

Now that you've made the stationery box, you need to fill it! The box makes a great gift. Not only will your friends love this, but teachers will love it, too. The box and cards that I made are for my friends Deanna and Dave of The Silly Goose Farm.

The above photo shows four 3 x 3 notecards that fit nicely into the pocket envelope on the inside lid of the box. The bottom photo shows the 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" notecards that fit into the box.

For a nice touch, make sure you always stamp the envelopes with a coordinating image.

See the space on the right side of the photo? That's a fun space where you can put tags, pens, or postage stamps. I decided to have a personalized rubber stamp made and send it along with the notecards. (Come back tomorrow for info on the personalized rubber stamp and how you can order one. They're great!)
