Lesson 2 - Introduction to Watercolour Pens

Todays lesson is brought to you by Jaine, who will be showing you some great tips and techniques with Watercolour Pens. A big 'Thank You' to our sponsor Kuretake who provided the pens for this tutorial.

Jaine is a complete expert with these and has shown a complete card as well as tips and tricks to get the most from your pens, I can't wait to have a go myself!

And here are a few more cards from Jaine to give you even more inspiration!

This card has been stamped with a Versafine Ink Pad, colour was added to the edges and then pulled out with a waterbrush

This one has been coloured directly onto the stamp and spritzed lightly with water before stamping - the background paper is made using the background effect technique shown in the tutorial

This one has also been coloured directly onto the stamp before being spritzed lightly with water and stamped, some colour was also added to the edge of the paper and sponged out with some damp blending foam

Lesson 1 - Paper Piecing

Todays lesson is one of my favourite techniques - Paper Piecing.

Paper Piecing is a great way to add pattern and texture to your papercraft projects, get extra mileage from your stamps and use up all your tiny paper scraps! It's also a great way to get professional looking coloured images if you aren't very confident with Markers or Pencils or even just to get a different look.

This is the card I made for this weeks lesson...

My lovely Design Team have also contributed some paper pieced cards to give you some more ideas, so here is some more inspiration...
