Sweet Sisters Flower Stencil

July 25, 2019

Hey everyone.  I’m a huge fan of Rita Barakat and all her mix media glory.  I have the pleasure of sharing a watercolored Sweet Sisters Flower stencil card with you today.  Now I will admit mix media scares me just a little as I’m never sure I’m doing it right however this stencil was so easy to use and the results are gorgeous every single time.  So let’s get started on the process of my card.

I started off with cold press watercolor paper and traced the Sweet Sisters Flower stencil image using a fine black multi-liner marker.  Once I had it traced I connected the line to create the full face for my card.  Now when you do this, it image really comes to life right before your eyes.  Therefore you can easily color the image with pencils, markers or like me watercolor.

The paints I used today I purchased off of Amazon a few months ago.  You can checkout the review here.  Creating this image I needed to start with the skin complexion and then move forward.  I mixed together a light and medium brown and added lots of water to get a lighter version I could do a color wash with.  Continuing to add layers by drying in between each coat, I achieved the complexion I wanted for this piece. Next I decided to add some blush to her checks in a light watered down red shade.  I heat set then before I moved one.

It was now time to add the rest of her makeup by applying a light coral shade to her eyes,  a hot reddish pink to her lips and super long eyelashes. For her eyes I used several shades of brown as I truly believe our eyes are not just one color. Adding eyelashes with a multi-liner pen made them pop.  I also used the same pen to add hair like strokes in her eyebrows.

Her hair was the last part to complete along with the little flowers. I mixed together browns and reds to get a light burgundy color wash.  I laid down a quick wash of color and let it dry.  Next I came in with brown and light red streaks of color to add movement and dimension to her hair.  I kept the flowers simple in color so they would not compete with the over image of this girl.  The last step was to add some clear glaze over her eyes and lips. Staying with a simple sentiment was the perfect way to finish off this card.

Here is a closeup of the finished image and I must say I love how this card came out. Having completed this card I may have just conquered my fear of stepping into the mix media world after all.  I can’t wait to work with this Sweet Sisters Flower stencil again.

Make sure to set those alarms for Monday August 1st 1:00 PM EST to grab your kit. Remember, once the kit sells out it's game over.

Morning everyone. I'm up on the @heroarts blog tod Morning everyone. I'm up on the @heroarts blog today sharing a tutorial using the new Hero Arts Tiling Textures stamp set with the Gold Hero Wax. This wax goes on like butter and once dried it's wonderful to stamp on. 

One of the tiles in the stamp set reminds me of honeycombs, so of course I needed to pull out cute bees from the Hero Arts Beelieve stamp set. It's a match made in heaven.

Head on over to the Hero Arts blog for more photos and a link to the tutorial. I also have a detail write up sharing how this card was created as well. Have a great day everyone.

Happy Friday everyone. I hope you're having a grea Happy Friday everyone. I hope you're having a great evening. Have you seen the  @simonsaysstamp Dream Big release? Oh it really makes my heart happy.

I had the chance to color up these adorable unicorns from the Born the Sparkle stamp set. I mean these unicorns are just too darn cute. My medium of choice were my Copics makers. I decided this card need some dimension, I stamped the unicorns and clouds once on my panel card stock and again on a separate piece of card stock so I could color them. Next I fussy cut each one out to pop them up on my card. 

This card really does make my heart happy. Unicorns for the win! Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
