Watercolored Pumpkin by Holly Brown


Hi Junkies!  It's Holly posting today and I'm sharing this pumpkin that I watercolored with Daniel Smith paints.  I stamped the Pumpkin with a dark green permanent ink onto watercolor paper.  After it was completely dry, I watercolored the image.  While that was drying, I started thinking about making my own plaid background with the same green color that I used on the pumpkin leaves.

So I used another piece of watercolor paper and three different sizes of brushes to draw the plaid lines.  The green paint is called Green Apatite Genuine from Daniel Smith, and it's perfect for a rustic handmade background.  I cut the piece down to fit onto a card and then wrapped some brown ribbon around it.  The pumpkin was cut with an oval die and affixed to the card.  

This month's Technique Junkies release is full of wonderful fall-themed stamps.  You can check them out here.  Feel free to use my code, TJ10Holly, when you shop at Technique Junkies.

TJ Inkspirations: Howl-O-Ween Stencil Omitting

Remember when we used to create a mask over stamped images when adding color around them? Well today's video shows how to use a stencil, tacked down with Pixie Spray, along with (teeny-tiny blending brushes to get designs in the little areas around an image without masking. 

Today we are Stencil Omitting. (Hmmmm. Kind of sounds like a crime, but its not!)

The video today uses Ink Blending Brushes with IZINK Dye Inks, Pixie Spray and a Stencil to create a great backdrop for the wonderful Howl-O-Ween stamp that was released this month.

Here is the finished piece from the video:

 I blend these inks with Ink Blending Brushes in the video - also new to the TJ Store. They are, by far, the easiest and best way I have ever blended ink. We have the orignal black handled brushes ($24.95), and now we have pretty Rose Gold Handles ($27.95 - 'cause sometimes we just need pretty things!), too!

Tree Rings Woodland Greetings

Good morning fellow stampers!  Today I'm posting a newly released Tree Rings from Technique Junkies.  I thought the Tree Rings lent itself to using some woodland dies, and by using Happy Birthday 3, I turned it into a birthday card.  One cannot have enough masculine cards.  Right?!

You can get 10% off Tree Rings and Happy Birthday 3, and any other item that isn't in the clearance rack, at 10% off simply by using my discount code TJ10Beth.  Now who doesn't love a discount?!


I stamped Tree Rings with brown Momento onto Kraft cardstock and matted it with So Saffron.  Brown Momento was stamped on So Saffron and cut out using a scallop punch.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hope!

Hope is Stronger is a wonderful encouraging thought  when facing a difficult situation. 
 I thought Roses made a perfect background for the verse.

I watercolored the roses with the new to Technique Junkies Aladine Liquid Pigment Inks.  They are very concentrated so they needed some water to be "water colors."


Please remember to use my code - TJ10Judy - when you check out. That will save you 10% on your whole order.

Have a great day and get inky!
