Craft Your Joy Technique Tutorial: Watercoloring with Dye Inks

Hi Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by, I’m so grateful you’re here.

I thought it would be fun to launch a QUICK TIP video series focusing on simple techniques you can try for your cardmaking and papercrafting projects. This video is “in the moment,” on the fly. No editing. No voice over. No perfect lighting set up. Just me painting and sharing some of my favorite ways to create watercolor effects using dye-based inks to paint beautiful blooms. I’d love to know if you find this tutorial helpful and would like to see more “bite-sized” tips in the future. Comment and let me know how I can be helpful.

Today’s tutorial uses my new stamp set Hello Beautiful with Gina K Designs. In this video, I share that you don’t have to have “all the watercolor paint out there” to create something you’ll LOVE. You can use the stamping dye inks you have in your stash to get beautiful coloring effects.

This card design uses my stamp set  “Hello Beautiful,” with Gina K Designs.

My Craft Mat:

I get a lot of questions about the craft mat I use in my videos. It is a piece of poster board from WR Memory Keepers. They call is Designer Poster Board: Wood White. Manufactured by American Crafts. I had the poster board heavy duty laminated at my local Staples. GREAT for photos, video, craft mat usage. It wipes right off and is heat resistant.

You can find this poster board in many craft and hobby stores. Or you can shop via this affiliate link: https://amzn.to/2GKP3Qp
