Daniel Smith Iridescent Watercolor Card - TUTORIAL

Hey peeps.  I'm back to creating in my room after being in Phoenix having a great time.  I missed you guys and I'm ready to make some magic again.  Before Creativation I was playing with the Daniel Smith iridescent watercolor paints and I hated to leave them on my craft table.  OMG they are GORGEOUS.  They react differently on white/light and black/dark cardstock.  To me it's straight magic.  I had to share a tutorial today to show you just how pretty these watercolor paint are.

So here is the card I made using three of the colors.  The colors I used were Duochrome Mauve, Duochrome Violet Pearl and Duochrome Autumn Mystery. I'm actually going to give this card to my wonderful husband as today is his birthday.  Happy happy birthday to the man I will love for the rest of my life. ❤️😍😘

Aren't these color just gorgeous together?  Oh they just make me so stinking' happy! 😊

Here is a quick tutorial showing how this card came together. You can watch it here or over at my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.  I've used affiliate links for your convienance at no cost to you.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Leave a comment below telling me what you think about this tutorial for your chance to receive one of these watercolored cards from me.  Have a great Friday everyone.

Valentine's Day Card Series - Day 4 Tutorial

Hey peeps.  We are in the home stretch of this years Valentine's Day Card Series.  For today's card we are doing to do a little bit of watercoloring.  Watercoloring is a happy place for me even when I'm not making cards.  It's just a freeing process that I truly enjoy.

I'm using an adorable stamp set from Avery Elle called Love Is In the Air.  I like this stamp set as it has solid images that make it super easy to make cards without a lot of fuss.  If you can get your hands on this one I highly recommend it.

Here's a quick tutorial.  You can watch it here or over at my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.  I've used affiliate links for your convenience at no cost to you.

Thanks for hanging out with me today.  See you back here on Friday for another our final card in the Valentine's Day card series.

Red, White and Blue - 2017 World Watercolor Month

Hey peeps.  Happy Fourth Of July!!!  I'll be out with my favorite peeps today enjoying the day and friendship. However before I leave the house I wanted to share with you my watercolor project for Day 4 of the 2017 World Watercolor Month.  If you don't know what this is all about, click HERE and join in on the fun.  No experience necessary as I'm TOTALLY a beginner at this.  :-)

Since today is Independence Day what better way than to make a symbol of the American Flag. All of my sketches for the month will be done in a mix media sketch book.  You can see all my post on my Instagram page mzdanajoy.

 

 I sketched this flag out from an image I google searched.  It was completed watercolored with Daniel Smith watercolor paints. 

For the stars I first stamped it with Hero Arts ink and them filled it in with a white marker.  And to finish off this image, I used a white sharpie marker to make the stitch lines.  I wasn't too sure of myself to hand sketch the stars or the stripes. 

Don't forget you have ONE MORE DAY left to leave your comments on the blog hop.  Commenting closes July 5th 11:59 PM EST.  Have a great day everyone.  See ya back here soon!
