New toys and a Featured Stamper

Published by bronih at 9:09 am under Card Designs, Challenges, Splitcoaststampers, Sugar Nellie, Watercolor

I got some new toys!! A full set of Tombow markers…and I couldn’t wait to play!

Lucky for me, the Featured Stamper at Splitcoaststampers this week is (Sandra McLean (B-gin-r) who is a super-talented watercolorer.

I chose to use THIS CARD as my inspiration. Of course mine is the little girl version of it!! Sandra’s is just incredible!

I love using the Tombows! And there are so many colors! Basically I just watercolored with them by wetting the paper first, laying the color where I wanted it to be the darkest, then spreading it with my water brush. (I decided to use patriotic colors too in celebration of the 4th!)

Thanks for visiting today!

Stamps: Untamed - Gorjuss Girl from Sugar Nellie
Paper: watercolor paper (hot pressed), vanilla, real red, pacific point, Daisy D 8×8 winter fun pad
Ink: StazOn jet black, Tombow markers, Ranger Distress - antique linen
