I've already done a post showing this delightful wee girl (she's one of my favourites) coloured up on water colour paper using markers. She does work really well. Tonight's class was inspired by a left over Pretties flower that I was going to use for my BLING card but it was too big. I'm a great believer in waste not want not. So it's a bit dark as it started off white - then coloured up to Blue Bayou - then coloured up with Almost Amethyst & yes now a lovely cornflower blue.
Class attendees were shown the easy peasy way that Tracee Jones from Waihi showed us how to colour up the Pretties. Tracee's technique is:
- place your hand inside a small self-sealing bag
- turn inside out with hand hidden inside like a glove
- rub bag on ink pad that you want to colour the flower up with
- turn bag inside out again (so ink now inside the bag)
- spray a few times with a water mister
- throw in the Pretties flower
- seal & scrunch it all around till the dye is even
Stamp sets: Summer By The Sea, Looks Like Spring,Think Happy Thoughts
Ink pads: Black Stazon, Certainly Celery, Whisper White
Card stock: Water colour paper, Almost Amethyst, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery Prints DSP
