Guess what I have for you all today… a video! I made a quick and easy card this weekend, so I thought you might enjoy watching the process. The video is blurry because I used the zoom function on the Flip Video cam, which does not work well because it’s an optical zoom. Oh well. Hope you enjoy it anyway!
For this card, I used an easy peasy watercolor technique to paint the image. First, I stamped my image with Stazon ink (solvent ink that is waterproof so the ink will not run when it is colored). Then, I used a nylon brush with a built in water reservoir (SU’s aqua painter brush) plus a bit of water-based dye ink to color the image. The video will show it in detail:

And below, the finished card. I haven’t made a rustic looking card in a while, so I’m digging the French script background stamp.

Now, just for you, a sneak peek inside the Sunset House professional film studio. Here’s where the all the magic happens:
Sofa + Ikea lack table + metal kitchen chair + tripod + flip video camera = movie studio magic!
Don’t all get jealous of my high end set up and equipment.
