Thank you for joining me last Friday for my free weekly live crafting session as I shared tips and card making ideas with you featuring the brand new Stampin’ Up! Frosted Forest Bundle. This bundle is part of the July 2024 Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive release! After creating the cards using the stamps, dies and masks, I decided to try out “no stamping” and simply use the masks and ink blending… THEN I decided to try out some watercoloring techniques!!
As you can see below, you can also create stunning handmade cards or projects by using the masks and blending brushes without the stamps!
Above & Below: using the masks with blending brushes and ink but no outline stamping. And don’t miss this tip… I used my Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends markers to add tree trunks to the pine trees.. I think they turned out amazing!! (it’s on the video!)
To see the other version with stamping first, see THIS POST.
No stamping / watercolor version…
Step 1: Use the Frosted Forest Masks and Blending Brushes with ink of your choice on Watercolor paper. (I used Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green and Garden Green)
Step 2: place the watercolor paper on a rag or surface that you don’t mind getting wet, and spray with water a few times. Don’t over do it… but watch as the greens blend!! So pretty!
Results: a very soft watercolor look!!
Optional Step 3: I used a watercolor brush and my Pecan Pie ink to add trunks to the trees, and added a watercolor wash of Balmy Blue or Boho Blue ink for the sky.
After doing the watercolor version, I stamped over the images with Garden Green ink and the tree images.. wow.. LOVE this version, too!!

Loved all the different ways to do the trees and the grass. I am glad that I purchased the bundle. Years ago I took a class in watercolor bold and free. Your Dad’s tip about spritzing the back of the watercolor paper was great. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us.
So glad you enjoyed the video!! thank you!!
I just watched the Frosted Forest video replay. Great job! Love the look of the masks with the color added…no stamping. Very artsy looking technique,
Thank you!! so glad you liked it!!
