Happy New Year! Watercoloring technique with pencils & white pencil

 

Hope you had a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year too!  

As a Stampin' Up demonstrator, we have access to some beautiful tutorials by other demonstrators -- here is one that I wanted to share with you that used the watercolor pencils and the white watercolor pencil.  This beautiful Magnolia bloom was done by Maike Beimler who is on the Artisan team. 

She used the Watercolor Pencils set #141709  $16 (13 pencils includes whisper white)  High-quality, smooth color pencils. Perfect for watercoloring stamped images. Use with Aqua Painters, Blender Pens, or alone. * 13 pencils in Stampin’ Up! colors: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Pacific Point, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White * Acid free * Lignin free.  These can be purchased in my online store:

There are many videos on Youtube that show different ways these watercolor pencils can be used, but I  thought this one was unique so wanted to share it with you. It used the white watercoloring pencil:

Christmas progress & Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin 2020 info

So what holiday events and projects have you been doing lately?  Beside wrapping up gifts to mail out, this year I was able to get to the mall across the street with my 2 furbabies for a picture with Santa Claus!  I am thinking I will put it on a 2020 mini-calendar to enclose with my Christmas cards. I also made a little dog harness and leash out of Hello Kitty fabric for my daughter-in-law's little chihuahua.  I made it reversible -  here are a few pictures of it:

 She is also getting a Hello Kitty hat, ornament, and scrapbook kit.  I've been making lots of Christmas cookies and decorating some gingerbread ones that I got ready-made and just had to do the fun part of decorating them! Of course, I had to taste a couple of the cookies lol

Stampin' Up is busy getting ready for the new year with their first Paper Pumpkin kit - they are making the kits more versatile so they can be used for several occasions as well as having a matching coordinating product that you can purchase.  The new January 2020 kit is already available to pre-order!
