Faux watercoloring using Blender Pens and inks is one of my favorite techniques. There is just something so relaxing about coloring, whether it is with Blender Pens, Stampin’ Blends, or Watercolor Pencils! In need of a little “me” time on this late November afternoon, I sat down, Blender Pens in hand, and engaged in a little watercoloring fun. With this cute image from Mistletoe Friends in front of me, I settled in with two old dogs at my feet, a cup of hot tea, and the TV turned to the Hallmark Movie channel. I hope you enjoy today’s card.
This card measures 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ when folded.
Faux watercoloring with Blender Pens and inks is so easy! After stamping the image in Basic Black Archival ink, I select the color I want to use, and simply touch the tip of my Blender Pen to the corner of the ink pad. I remove excess ink on scratch paper, and then I “paint”. I remove quite a lot of color in the process before touching the image because it is always easier to add more color as I shade. Another little tip is I will outline in Stampin’ Write Markers, and then pull the color into the image using a Blender Pen.
Clear Wink of Stella accents the snow, as well as the fur on the Santa Hat and the snow flakes. In addition, rhinestones and pearls add a bit of sparkle and glam.
