Watercoloring using Tim Holtz Distressed Markers

My final and last post for today will be a card I made using watercolor technique.  No challenges or anything, just plain crafting.  How I wish that my newly bought heat tool will get here as I am so eager to do more watercoloring using different color medium.  Here's one that I made. 

 I think it's not that bad for a first try.  But next time, I need to be more careful on how much Stickles I need to put.

MATERIALS:

PAPER: Stampin' Up! {watercolor paper and cardstock} and Cosmo Cricket {patterned paper}

STAMP: Stampendous {jumbo peony} and Paper Smooches {word salad - sentiments}

INKPAD: Memento {Tuxedo Black} and Tim Holtz Distressed Inkpad {Rusty Hinge}

COLORING MEDIUM: Tim Holtz Distressed Marker {worn lipstick}

TOOLS: Scoth {ATG}, E-6000 {glue}, Fiskar {paper trimmer} and Stickles {glitter glue} and sponge
EMBELLISHMENT: Unknown {satin ribbon}, Making Memories {brad} and Martha Stewart {half pearls}


I'll be posting more once I get my new heat tool...

Tim Holtz Newly Released Embossing Folders

Here are my latest card creations using Tim Holtz embossing folders, Tim Holtz distressed inks and Tim Holtz ink blending tool. Then I added some ribbons, bottons, and twines as embellishments. The goal is to showcase Tim Holtz embossing folders designs without too many elements.

Coloring with Tim Holtz Distressed Inks

Lately, I've been exploring different ways to color images. I've tried both inkpads and reinkers. I tried using SU aquapainter or just plain paint brush. I tried using water and without water while coloring and finally I get the result that I want. Let me show it to you and will let you be the judge... By the way, I like painting the images using plain paint brushes, using reinkers (colors are much vibrant) and no water.

Inkpad: Memento, TH distressed inkpads
