Celebrate

Hello friends.
It is almost time to celebrate the 4th of July. So to celebrate I used the stamp set

Frothy Concoctions Clear Stamp 

I stamped the image three times across a piece of watercolor paper. I then colored the images with Spectrum Noir AquaBlend Pencils and smoothed the color out with a small paint brush with water.
I colored over the entire image with the Clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen. To finish off the card from I added a die cut "Celebrate" word to the front out of glitter paper.

Tutorial Tuesday

Hey guys, Katie here! Happy Tuesday! It's tutorial Tuesday here at PWP so I wanted to show you how I stitched my stamp design on this card. I used my favorite Play with your Coffee stamp set that I use so often.

1. Stamp your design onto your piece of paper, I used the Play with your Coffee stamp set. I used a tag that I added watercolor to. I also colored in my design with watercolor pencils.

2. Use a small awl or embroidery needle and punch equally spaced holes along the stamped lines. I also used an embroidery mat that helps your holes come out clean (by Amy Tangerine).

3. Use a needle and embroidery thread to stitch through your holes. If you're new to hand stitching, here's a great resource for learning the basic stitches.

When I was creating my card, I chose a fun piece of patterned paper and then stamped the flower from the Sacred Geometry stamp set onto the background. After that, I just added my stitched tag and some bling!

Hello everyone! It's Amber here with another fun technique to share for this weeks Tutorial Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to share a quick and easy masking technique to create a background.

To get started all you need is some white cardstock, some ink, two stamps (one for your main image and one for the background ), a few sticky notes, and some watercolored pencils or markers to color your image at the end. You can see how I masked off my image and added my background below.

Choose your image and stamp it onto a white piece of cardstock and then stamp the same image onto a sticky note. I used the wonderful Crane from the Crane Panel Stamp Set.

Next cut around your image. I left the the bottom half attached because its water and I only want my background to show behind the upper half of my image.

I placed my masked over the crane and then used a few more sticky notes to mask off the edges.

Next ink up the image you want to use as your background and stamp it directly over your masked image. I used this fabulous Sunburst Pattern Stamp Set for my background along with two different colored inks.

This is what my background looked like when I removed the masking from my image and the other sticky notes from the edges.  As you can see I have a nice clean border all the way around.

After I let the background dry for a few I pulled out some watercolor pencils and started coloring my image.

Here is what my finished panel looked like after I finished coloring it. I just love the way the Sunburst background stands out behind the crane. It really makes him stand out. All that was left to do was add it to my card.  I hope you enjoyed my quick and easy masking technique today! Thanks for visiting!

Feature Friday: Be Wise Be Kind Be True

Hello everyone it's Amber here for another Feature Friday Post! Yeah it's Friday, are you ready for the weekend? I know I am. Today I will be featuring the wonderful Owl Be Wise Panel Clear Stamp Set. This stamp set is very versatile and can be used for everyday moments or many different special occasions. Check it out.

For my card I started with a white piece of cardstock randomly scribbled my colored pencils all over the  cardstock. I then took a wet paint brush and went over the scribbled lines for a watercolor effect. After the cardstock was dry I stamped the image and sentiment using a blank ink pad over the water colored area. Next I matted the white cardstock with a light purple cardstock and machine stitched around all four sides.

I really love how the water coloring turned out, it gives the card a very whimsical vibe. Below you will find my supply list and don't forget we would love to see what you make with Paper Wings Productions Stamps so add your projects to our Flickr Group, to Pinterest, or leave a comment with a link to your project.
