Playing With Your Stencils In Another Way Than Blending

 Good Morning This week I am showing you a different way of using your stencils. As I usually use my ink pads and blender brushes, I wanted to give things a shake up. If like me you have loads of sprays sitting around doing nothing they are fantastic for using with your stencils.

Making A Statement With Altenew

Welcome Back,  So this week I decided to step out of the comfort zone. I have said, in past blog posts. I am not confident when it comes to watercolour painting. But I have been much more confident, when using Distress Inks as my palette. I love flowers but always steer away from them as I don't think I will be able to make it look nice. But I decided to give it a shot, so I leave you to decide if I managed to pull it off!  Products Statement Flowers Stamp Set (Altenew) https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/statement-flowers-stamp-set?_pos=2&_sid=a8c252f28&_ss=r Deck Planks 3D Embossing Folder...

Another Look At Water Colouring With Distress Ink, Changing Your Sub Straights...….. What Happens ?

Good Morning / Afternoon or Maybe Evening. Welcome A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog on using your Distress Inks to water colour with, and how easy the result were. I fell in love with the technique and have many more examples planned.
