Hello,
I’ve been quiet the past year but was looking at my site and enjoyed going back and reading and seeing points in time over the years. This past weekend I was super inspired and challenged learning a new colouring technique using watercolouring with distress inks and I wanted to share with you.
So here you go, some of my creations from the long weekend:
And some more:

I was using the Tim Holtz Christmas card kit from Simon Says. There is a 3 hour workshop video to go with it which I learned a lot from. I did supplement the kit with additional cardstock and items.
After close to 20 years colouring with Copics I was curious to try a new technique. I found there is a real learning curve but enjoyed the results. It is relaxing and enjoyable to watercolour and gives a different artsy look to, so another great option to throw in some variety. Given the cost of water colour paper though, versus high quality cardstock that works well with copics, it’s definitely a luxury choose to use only here and there.
It’s hard to see in the photos but a real takeaway for me was the technique to use glossy accents to adhere glitter, if you haven’t tried this search for the workshop video and check it out!
