STAMPlorations Guest Designer Inspirations post #3

Hello everyone!
Happy Wednesday!

Once again, time for Wonderful Wednesday Coloring inspirations for Stamplorations blog to share our coloring techniques!

Card #1 Giving Thanks to Teacher 

This is perfect for a special teacher Thank you card!
Firstly I stamped the Kathryn image on a watercolored sheet and colored it with Zig brushes and highlighted with Dark pink Glitter pen.  Don't bother if the color is out of the image, I fussy cut it. Removed the flower part and added a pencil to hold her in hand. Sorry forgot to take the picture in between coloring work.





At the bottom of my one layer card, I created a stencil pattern using DI.  Above the stencilled pattern, added a double-sided scoring tape and burnished a fine glitter in brown color very well with my finger.
I created a super fun background pattern with all the little images from the Kathryn Thanks Teacher stamp set at the white remaining space. Colored the images using Zigs again. Added Wink of Stella glitter pens to the books in dark brown and dark pink to apples.

Now on a shining vellum strip stamped one of the sentiment and heat embossed it with Black ebony EP.
Added a set of books with double-sided adhesive foam for more dimension and pencil to the image.

Card#2 Flowers in Rainbow colors

This card started out as an experiment. A very fun and colorful too. I might add, I wasn't sure it was going to work but I kinda dig the bold look that came out in rainbow colors!

There is no actual coloring done for them, I have used Ken Oliver Color Burst Powders with water, glossy white CS and a spritzer. The colors tend to go all over the place but it sure is fun!

Let's start with the beginning, I cut out some florals and leaves out of black CS. I created a pattern using these die cuts and using an adhesive quick stick I adhered them all on a white CS. I just sprinkled the powders on the piece directly and then sprayed water on it to activate the colors. Let it dry on their own or you can use a heat gun too.

Then I added some black and golden polka dots to create the background for more drama and textures.

Finished it off with a die cut sentiment in gold foil sheet with a black shadow- "Life is good".

A trio of Butterfly Tags

I created three different color techniques on these pretty butterflies. I love the detailing on the butterfly images. For all my 3 tags, I used color bursts to create the background.

I die cut 3 tags out of a watercolor sheet.

On one of the tag, I spritz water on the surface and added the pigments of different shades of color bursts and blow on with a drinking straw to spread the colors. 

Then on the first tag, I directly stamped the biggest butterfly image and added a strip of the sentiment which is heat embossed with wow embossing powder in opaque bright white and I added different shades to the sentiment too using my gel pens. I love the tye and Dye effect on this one!

One of the second tag I didn't remove that tag die and used it as a stencil. I stamped the butterfly images and colored the detailing parts using glitter gel pen for some shine and added a strip of sentiment which is heat embossed in white.

And on the last remaining tag, I directly added the pigments of color bursts and then spritz with water. Both techniques are having different results.

I added some bokeh technique circles using my finger daubers and white pigment ink. And stamped some text sentiments in the background here and there. Added some blue tiny sparkly dots at some circles and at one of the edges. Using my gel pens I added more details to my circles by outlining them. And added the sentiment. Stamped two different butterfly images and colored them with my gel pens, fussy cut them.

Tied all the tags with crinkle ribbons and one with sequins ribbon. Die cut some leaves and flowers from a scrap left. And finished them off with these die cuts and some sequins.
