Perched In A Tree Bundle - Watercolor Techniques - December 2022 Artisan Showcase - Stampin' Up!

Hello my crafting friends,

Today I am excited to share with you my December 2022 Artisan Design Team Project. I was asked to use the Perched In A Tree Bundle, which includes the Perched In A Tree Stamp Set & Aspen Tree Dies. These products are in the July – December Mini Catalog & Online and will be available till Jan 4th. To purchase any of these products, please visit my online store. The link is below in the description.


Today I am going to share with you how I used my Classic Stampin’ Ink Pads to watercolor the birds and background on these cards. These cards have a simple layout, delicate details, and soft colors that give them a winter feeling, perfect for this time of year.

Product List

 



Card #1

1- Begin by creating a watercolor wash on 3 ½” x 5” Fluid 100 Paper for one of the cards. I used Mango Melody & Balmy Blue. You can add the ink directly to the paper with a water painter or use a Window Sheet. You can see the technique in the video below. Let dry.


2- Stamp the splatter image in Sahara Sand along the edges of the background.


3- Cut out the Aspen Tree Die from Very Vanilla Cardstock. Cut out the three left tree trunks and add to the left of the background.

4- Add the 1” x 3 ½” strip of Vellum Layering Designs – I used the handwritten script about 1/3 from the bottom. Wrap 24” of Linen Thread and tie a bow on the right side. Add everything to the center of the cardbase with dimensionals.


5- Stamp the bird on some Fluid 100 in Stazon Ink. Watercolor with Soft Suede & Mango Melody ink. Let dry. Cut out with coordinating die and add to the center of the card with dimensionals.


6- Cut out three small leaves in Soft Sea Foam and add a little interest with a watercolor wash using Pear Pizzazz ink. Let dry and add two by the bird on the left and one by the bow on the right.

7


- Stamp your greeting in Stazon ink on Basic White Cardstock and fussy cut out. Add with dimensionals to the right of the bird near the bow.

8- Add three Brass Brushed Metallic Dots.

All Done!

 



Card #2

1- Stamp the bird & branch in the center of the 3” x 5” Fluid 100 Paper. Watercolor with Soft Suede, Mango Melody & Balmy Blue ink. Let dry.


2- Stamp the splatter image in Sahara Sand along the edges of the background.


3- Adhere the 1” x 5” Vellum Layering Designs handwritten script to the left side with about ½” showing.

4- Wrap 30” of Linen Thread and tie a bow near the branch.


5- Stamp your greeting in Stazon ink on Basic White Cardstock and fussy cut out. Add with dimensionals to the right side of the card under the branch.

6- Cut out three small leaves in Soft Sea Foam and add a little interest with a watercolor wash using Pear Pizzazz ink. Let dry and add two by the bow on the left and one by the greeting on the right.

7- Add three Brass Brushed Metallic Dots.

All Done!
