((VIDEO)) Watercolor Backgrounds&Loose Watercoloring

Hi everybody,

I got asked on instagram and youtube from time to time, how I do my Watercolor-Backgrounds. And its really no magic. That is why I though I make a Video for you.

And I show you on four cards with my go-to-techniques....

Watercoloring is really easy. You can't do "wrong" so maybe you just give it a try :-)

Here you can watch my Video in "english" ;-)



Here you can watch my Video in Deutsch (much better)

Did you know that christine, the owner of create a smile, does have a second Instagram-Channel called "@smilesspotting"?  There she shows her awesome lettering-skills with a kind of urban street-art :-) 

Thank you

Hey stampers, Anni here!

Today I have a Thank You card for you!

I couldn't resist using the mini set "Ein kleines Danke". And I had to combine it with the big sea gulls from Möwen-Gang/Gull-Gang. They are a perfect match.

• I started by stamping the sea gulls, colouring with Copics and fussy cutting them.
• Then I die cut a rectangle from my favorite alcohol marker friendly paper.
• I stamped the wooden stakes by masking some of them to get the illusion of dimension. I also coloured the stakes with alcohol markers.
• The next step was to stamp the sentiment that also comes in the mini set.
• To get a little more colour onto my card I added some ink blending. I masked of all the wooden stakes and blended on some Distress Ink in Peacock Feather and Cracked Pistacchio.
• Then I assembled the card.

• Add highlights to your colouring with a white gel pen. It gives that little extra something.
• I didn't cut masks for all the stakes whenn I added the ink blending. I just masked them roughly with Post-it-notes!

Did you know you get this mini set for free if you spend 30€ or more at the online shop as long as supplies last?
