Techniques + Lindy's Stamp Gang

This month, my video tutorial is all about the multi-tone effect you can achieve with the awesome Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays included in November's Papercrafting Kit.

I just love the amazing spectrum of gold, yellow, amber, copper, and mahogany contained in just two spray inks...awesome!



Multi-tonal art mediums are a favorite of mine - so many possibilities & so many cool color-surprises along the way.

Thanks for joining me, and I'll see you next month for some holiday craftiness!

Fun with Pens & the November Kit...

I love the variety of pens included in the November kit...opaque, glaze, metallic.  These different finishes add great interest & dimension to the gorgeous art coloring pages by Catherine Scanlon.

Here's a look at how I layered the pens with the watercolors on a project.

First, I did a light wash of horizontally-striped color across the entire page; blues, greens, purples, and metallic neutrals. 


Next up, the white souffle pen, love this thing!  It goes on clear, and turns a great opaque white when it dries.


Outline with black to make the flowers pop.


Add detailing with the glaze pen - love that these pens look "wet" and glossy even when dry.


Finish off with metallic centers for the flowers.


Add a quote.


I edged the page in silver watercolor, and can't wait to frame it for my craft space.


Like others on the DT have said, these coloring pages are a joy to work with, very therapeutic & so fun to customize.  Can't wait to see all the different ways YOU make these pages your own, so don't forget to show them off by linking here or on facebook!
