Hello Friends! Katy here with my latest video sharing a great way to use VersaFine Clair re-inkers on watercolor paper with felt pads and Isopropyl Alcohol, but I also share using an ink pad if you don’t have a re-inker. Video has all the details. Thanks for watching.
– Hello crafty friends! The special day to celebrate our mothers is here. We can celebrate them and show them love in many ways. But today, we are going to make a clean-and-simple handmade card for someone who has been a mother in our life.
Let’s get crafting!
Skill: Intermediate Time: 15-20 Minutes
Direction:
Step 1 Cut out a piece of watercolor cardstock into 4×6 inch and put it on the stamping tool. Stamp the mason jar bouquet image with VersaFine Onyx Black ink.
Step 2 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Summer Sky on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
I used a waterbrush that can easily squish some water out to the brush, but you also can use any small round watercolor brush and clean water. Always have a piece of clean paper towel nearby to dab off too much water.
Step 3 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Bamboo Leaves on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
Step 4 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Rose Bud on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
Step 5 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Cantaloupe on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
Step 6 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Paris Dusk on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
Step 7 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Grape Jelly on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
Step 8 Dry the whole watercolored image well with a craft heat gun. Fussy cut the image using the micro-tip scissors.
Step 9 Cut out a piece of white cardstock with one of the Stitched Tag dies. Stamp the sentiment on the tag with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. Dry the stamped sentiment with a craft heat gun.
Step 10 Add some of the VersaFine Clair Arctic ink on the front card base with finger sponge dauber. Dry the ink with a craft heat gun.
Step 11 Put some of the Tear It! Double-sided Tape on the back of the mason jar and add it to the tag. Tie up some of the white twine on the tag.
Step 12 Add the mason jar bouquet tag to the card with some of the On Point Glue.
Step 13 Embellish the card with some of the pearl gems.
This clean-and-simple Mother’s Day card may look simple yet it has layers but it is not bulky so it is perfect to be sent out to someone who has been a mother to you on this special time.
I hope you like this card and give this tutorial a try. Thanks so much for stopping by our blog today. Have a wonderful day!

Hello Friends! Katy here with my latest video! In todays video I create a very simple Spring card. I love the look of watercolors and since I have been with Imagine for a few years as an Artist in Residence, I am trying to explore some of the other products they have available and that I can use similarly to my inks. So I grabbed the Walnut Inks I have and a small paintbrush and got to work coloring my stamps. Fear not if you yourself do not have these magical water-based inks, you can use your ink pads with a smoosh and a bit of water or actual watercolor pans or liquid watercolors or any other liquid ink you may have lying around. Video has all the details. Thanks for watching.

I am a big fantasy nerd, and was so excited when we were given the option to share a fairy tale project with you this month.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 1.5 hours
Directions:
Step 1: Stamp a dragon and a small mountain range on watercolor paper with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and heat emboss them with clear ink. Then die cut both images with their corresponding dies.
Step 2: Die cut a piece of watercolor paper with an A2-sized background die. Take the circular die cut element from the die cut watercolor paper and using an old sponge dauber–which has some parts of the sponge missing due to heavy use–to rub more Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink across it. Then spray the die cut circle with Silver Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray. Set aside to dry.
Step 3: Color the die cut dragon with Desert Sand and Lilac Posies Memento Dual Markers.
Step 4: Add Gold irRESTible medium onto the 4 freckles on the dragon’s hip using the Pico Embellisher. Then mix some of the Gold irRESTible medium with water and splatter the black die cut circle.
With the remaining irRESTible medium mixed with water, paint the wings and belly of the dragon to add some shine. Set aside to dry.
Step 5: Color the mountains with Rich Cocoa Memento Dual Marker. Then press a White Shimmer Delicata Ink pad onto some acetate packaging and spay with water. Use this shiny watercolor to paint the clouds and snowy tips of the mountains. (While you can’t see this in the picture, the Delicata ink added some subtle shine to the image.) Watercolor smoosh the remaining watercolor onto the circular die cut and allow everything to dry.
Step 6: Returning to the die cut watercolor panel from step 2, stamp a sentiment on the lower right corner of the panel with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Then press more of the White Shimmer Delicata ink mixed with water onto the panel to add some sparkle. Allow to dry.
Step 7: Assemble the card. Glue both parts of the watercolor panel onto an A2-sized white card base. Glue the mountain range as well as gold stars and rhinestones onto the panel. Then attach the dragon with foam tape to give her some dimension to finish the card.
