Bumbleberry Blog — Watercolour

Hello There and Welcome  To this week's Wednesday  blogpost with me Jo. I'm really loving water colouring at the moment, I seem to go through stages with my medium's. I think most of us work like this. The Paint - A - Flower,  range from Altenew, is currently being used on their blog hops, as it has just had a new released. I am using a later stamp from this range. Just the ticket to get out the Zig Markers and the Bristol Smooth Cardstock. You can use any water colouring paper and pens, paints etc..... this is just what...

Hi There, Crafty Friends,  Apologies for my absence  last week, we had a slight family emergency with my daughter. But she is on the road to recovery now so I'm back today.  Sometimes its dauting to decide now to fill your card, with a design. So if this is the case I tend to sc ale things down. Let Me Show You! I fell in love with this little fox image from My Favorite Things.   Products My Favorite Things Lets Curl Up Stamps https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/my-favorite-things/products/lets-curl-up  Gina K Wreath Builder Template 3 3/4  https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/gina-k-designs/products/wreath-builder-template?variant=12866604826706  Kraft Card 4 x 4" Water Colouring...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. So who says leaves have to be green?! I thought this Leafy Decor stamp from PinkFresh Studio would be a great stamp for partial die-cutting to create a border card. And I think it turned out quite well. I decided to go for an alternative colour scheme, as I wanted to play with colour more, rather than stay with traditions. Hopefully, you'll think it's a success - for me, it is a success!

Hello lovelies!This week I'm sharing another love themed card, I like to have a few extra of this style on hand to show my appreciation for people throughout the year.  I die cut a panel from watercolour paper using Mama Elephant's "Basic Rectangles" Creative Cuts and a large scalloped panel from black card stock using Mama Elephant's "Framed Tags" Waverly Creative Cuts. I removed the foam from my Misti stamping tool and secured my watercolour panel to stamp my background using Hero Arts' "Candy Hearts Peek-A-Boo" Cling stamp set and Gina K's Amalgam Jet Black ink. Once the ink was...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. When I was browsing the Bumbleberry shop, the Flower Garden stamp set from ALtenew stood out and I knew it would be perfect to colour in. If you're like me and don't always want to spend hours colouring in, this stamp set is perfect for loose watercolouring with heat embossing. This technique allows you to add colour but you don't have to be perfect and it will still look amazing.  Written and photos Loose Watercoloured Florals:  To start off, stamp a selection of the florals and leaves...
