If you joined me yesterday for my weekly crafting video, thank you!! If you missed it, I’ve got the replay below in this post. Yesterday I shared tips and techniques for how to color with watercolor pencils & the Sunflower folder from Stampin’ Up!

I didn’t even use water.. just shading with my watercolor pencils on the embossed images, and then a little blending with a Blender Pen! You can do this!

Six cards featuring vibrant sunflower and daisy designs colored with watercolor pencils are spread on a graph paper background. Watercolor pencils, a blending brush, and the artist’s hand are visible. The text above advertises “Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder colored with Watercolor Pencils.”.

If you are looking for the pencil sharpener I shared in the video, the Prismacolor pencil sharpener is the one I use. It’s in my Craft Room Essentials Amazon store. I do earn a small commission at no additional cost to you if you purchase it in my store.

A handmade card features colorful, hand-colored sunflowers and green leaves, with a textured brown basket weave pattern on the left. A white stitched square label at the center reads, “You are so appreciated” in elegant script. Card by Patty Bennett. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Each card features a piece of Two Tone Cardstock (I used Petal Pink and Crumb Cake for the projects I shared on the video and in this post). Be sure to watch the video to see all the tips about inking the embossed images with the Stampin’ Spots… I especially love the Early Espresso spot for adding ink to these embossed pieces.

As I mentioned in the video, adding some paper like the Woven Textures paper and the Need for Tweed, are the perfect touch for these cards!

  3. Okay, once again, a fantastic video. I just love this. I didn’t know about watercolouring pencils – especially without water. So cool. Guess I will be ordering them right now. Plus, I want to send my brother some papers to play with. Since he’s an artist, I am glad I don’t have to supply them. What I am most pleased about with the pencils is that I will no longer be ruining my blends. Fantastic. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
