 Here is another view of today's card.

 

Using the DIE-02213 Peonies and Mason Jar Dies and Strathmore Mixed Media Paper die cut the jar. Cut a small piece of Post It note paper to cover up the words on the mason jar image from JustRite Peonies Clear Stamps. Then ink up the mason jar stamp using StazOn Jet Black ink. Use a tweezers to remove the piece of paper. Carefully line up and place the die cut on top of the stamp. Place a piece of scratch paper on top and rub over the top to transfer the ink to the die cut. Then carefully remove die cut.

Next using the flower stamps ink up only the stems and stamp three times on top of the mason jar die cut. To color the water in the jar I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens Cobalt Blue and Light Gray. First I applied water to the paper in the areas I want to add color. Doing this will help the colors to flow and blend. I am using a Round #8 brush to watercolor. Add water to the color to really blend it out and get a very light blue color.  I used a little of the gray around the edges. Apply color until you achieve the desired look. 

Use a heat tool to dry the paper  in between the layers of color. After looking at the die cut I decided I wanted to add a little more of the blue color. The stems were colored with a very watered down Pale Green.

Using both of the larger flower dies and the mixed media paper die cut three of the flower stamps and then use StazOn Jet Black ink to stamp the images on the die cuts.  

On the first flower I wanted to have very pale pink petals so I added water to one petal at a time and then added the color and blended out with more water. I colored the entire flower using just the Pale Pink pen.  When you watercolor do only one area at a time--like the petals on the flower. Doing this will help to prevent the colors from bleeding in to other areas. You can use a heat tool to speed up the drying time.

I wanted the second flower to be more vibrant so I used two colors-- Light Pink and Pink. This time I didn't add any water to start. I colored directly on to the paper and then and then blended with the water. Doing this will give you darker color tones. I colored in the petal first with Light Pink and then added water to blend. I added the Pink to the areas I wanted to be darker and then added water to blend. 

Here you can see the difference in the color of the two flowers.

The third flower is going to be in the background so I didn't want to take the time to color the whole flower.  I placed the other two flowers on top and then lightly traced around the two flowers so I would now where I needed to add color. 

I used the same technique to color the leaves as I did the flowers. I added water first for the lighter colors and then blended with water and for the darker colors I colored directly on the paper and then blended with water.  I used Pale Green and Light Green for the leaves. Here I have all three of the flowers done and you can see the difference in the colors.

 

Next I cut off the stems on all of the flowers.  

Then I arranged the mason jar and flower on top of a piece of mixed media paper. I used scor-tape and foam squares to adhere all of the pieces.

For the background I did a simple watercolor wash. First I applied water to the paper and then I started to drop in color.  Keep adding color and blending out with water. For the background I used Yellow, Bright Yellow, and Orange. 

I used a heat tool to speed up the drying time in between layers of color. Adding the layers of color adds depth and interest to the paper.

To finish the card I added the watercolor piece to an A2 top folding card and adding some clear sequins.  Thanks so much for joining me today! :) Heidi

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who left a comment on the giveaway.  We loved reading every comment and you will see in our October Release that we were already working on some of the very things that were on your wish list.  Join us on Oct 12th for the first day of our October Release.

If you are reading this from a feedburner email of our blog post you can see Heidi's Video Tutorial by clicking here.

  

At the beginning of today's video I discuss the variety of ways you can use the Prima Water Soluble Oil Pastels.



Start with stamp 1A the largest poinsettia piece. Begin by coloring directly on to the stamp using the red pastel.  

Then using a paint brush begin to add water to the image.   

Here is a tip – When adding water to a flower or similar type stamp (leaves) I tap the brush on each petal first so it evenly distributes the water that is in the brush.  Next I blend the pastel with the water and then stamp the image. 

I am using Strathmore Mixed Media paper.  This paper is very heavy weight and ultra-smooth.  You can use it with dry or wet media.  I like using it when I am doing watercolor and stamping.  I always get a nice crisp image.  Next color the 1B stamp using the same pastel color and repeat the process.  Add water, blend and stamp. 

Here is another tip for lining up the images.  On the 1B stamp there is a petal that is larger and rounder than the others.  If you look at the 1A stamp you will see the space that is larger and the 1B stamp fits in that spot perfectly.  

Next color the 1C stamp using Dark Ochre.  Since this stamp is more detailed I found it easier to tap off most of the water on my brush and then instead of using the tip of the brush I used the side.  Doing this will help to keep the color from running down in to all of the little spaces.  Stamp the image. 

Doing this will help to keep the color from running down in to all of the little spaces.  Stamp the image. 

For the center color stamp 1D.  On this center piece I used two colors Yellow and Yellow Orange.  I also used very little water for the center of the flower.  If too much water is added the detail of the image is lost.

Moving on to the leaves I used stamps 3A and 3B.  The leaves are the same process as the flower.  I used Yellow Green and Cadmium Green. 

Tip-If you want the leaves right up against the flower or to give the appearance they are under the flower don't color the stem on the leaf.  

For the background I started with three colors of the pastels Ochre, Salmon Pink, and Yellow.  Apply the colors to an acrylic block or craft mat and add water to pick up the colors.

The background is done in layers to add depth.  I am using the larger brush (round 16) for the background.  I applied the three colors and then I used the heat tool to dry the paper. 

 

For the second layer I on the background I am using the same three colors and then I added a forth color Yellow Green.  When you are doing a watercolor background use the heat tool to dry the paper in between layers.  Doing this will add more depth and also help to keep all of the colors and layers just blending together.  For the third and final layer I added a fifth color Red to the background.

To finish off the image I stamped the pine sprigs (image 5) a few times.  To get the dark color I used Cadmium Green and Dark Brown.  An image like this is a lot easier to stamp after doing the watercolor background.  I decided I wanted to have one of the leaves a little darker green so I stamped it a second time. 

I recommend stamping the fur boughs after you create your watercolor background.  I decided I wanted to have one of the leaves a little darker green so I stamped it a second time.

I used Tonic Studios 480E Square Layering Die Set to die cut the watercolor image and also a mat for the card.  The card base is 5.5 x 5.5. I used white craft foam in between the layers to add a little dimension.Using my ATG adhesive I assembled the card. Then I used Multi Medium Matte to adhere the sequins to the card front and add a little sparkle.  I used the Quick Stick tool to help apply the sequins.

Here is my finished card.



For my second card I did 3 generations of stamping with each step of the Multi-step Poinsettia Clear Stamps.  In this picture you can see an example of generation stamping.  You can use the Prima Pastels the same way you would use inks to do generation stamping. For the first generation color the image, add water to blend and stamp.  For the second generation just simply add a little more water to blend the color and stamp.

You can keep repeating the process until there is no longer color on the stamp.  I found with the Prima Pastels I could easily stamp the image three times and get good results.  Each generation of stamping got a little lighter.

Here is my card created with the three generation stamped images.

For my third card I stamped the Poinsettia's in blue.
