Daily Window news!

Daily Window Products contacted me earlier this month to ask me if I could send over some projects done with their preprinted background cards to be used in an upcoming infomercial about their product line! So excited that these pieces will have a few minutes of fame soon! I've shared a few of the panels here already, but here are a few more that haven't been shown on my blog yet, and some notes on how each was made:

Stamped images: Market Street Stamps

Coloring medium: Inktense pencils/waterbrush

Other supplies: stencil from the Crafter’s Workshop, Versamark ink, octagon dies by Quickutz, button die from Impression Obsession, Fishtail banner die from My Favorite Things, copper foiling tape

Technique: I stamped the teacup image on watercolor paper, masked the image, inked through the stencil with Versamark ink to create the sunburst pattern, and embossed with clear powder. The image is colored with Inktense pencils and a waterbrush.

Stamped images: Carrie - Rubber Romance image by I Brake for Stamps; sentiment by Unity Stamps

Coloring medium: Memento and LePlumeII Markers, Prismacolor pencils

Other supplies: diecuts from Spellbinders (rectangle) and Quickutz (circle, star), Spellbinders embossing folder (star), Fiskars texture plate (textile), twine, ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon, red/white trim (unknown source), lace border die from Impression Obsession (tissue paper), hemp twine

Technique: I colored the image loosely with markers, then shaded with colored pencils.

Stamped image: Seaside Scene by Impression Obsession

Coloring medium: Shinhan Premium Watercolors

Other supplies: corrugated cardboard, twine, Scor-Pal

Technique: I watercolored the image using tube watercolors. For the ‘drippy’ areas, I first painted the areas with water, then added color to those areas and tipped the panel to allow the paint to drip where I wanted it to.  In the water, I allowed the first set of drips to dry, then added another  layer over the top. The white reflection lines on the water were added afterwards.

Thanks so much for visiting!!

 

TTC12 - Color Challenge

There's a new challenge up at the Touch Twin Markers & More Challenge blog - this time we're using our markers to create projects with a specific color combination. We hope you'll join the fun! Huge thanks to Market Street Stamps for sponsoring our challenges this month!!

I chose the Enjoy Today set to work with - I stamped the teacup image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink (2nd impression) and combined the pink and coral colors for shading.
These are the Touch Twin Markers that I used:

TTC11 - Your Favorite Animal

There's a new challenge up at the Touch Twin Markers & More Challenge blog - this time we're using our markers to create projects with an animal theme. We hope you'll join the fun! The whole team is working with the same stamp set (Cool Cats) from Market Street Stamps today...we are so thankful to them for sponsoring our challenges this month!!
When I make 5" square cards, I end up having a 3-1/2"x11" cut left over - it's a great size for a quick card. For no real reason, I wanted my cat to be brown... so here's how he turned out. These open images are so great for practicing shading and coloring!
These are the markers I used - I love this progression of browns:
