Spreading the Love

I have consumed myself over the last couple of days in colour, something to cheer up these rainy days! I have been working with a range of products from Kuretake over the past week and have fallen in love with their range of products.
If you love to colour your stamped/digi images your mouth is going to drool, believe me.

The pens of choice are the Zig Art & Graphic twin pens, look at the watercolour effects that can be achieved with them!

A simple, stylish valentine card using our brand new Willow Valentine Bear download (as seen in this months issue of Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine.

I chose to apply the colour from the pens onto a sheet of acetate first, mix with a tiny bit of water and apply to the image using a small brush, it looks like it's jumped straight out of a little watercolour book, love it!

The beauty of applying the colour direct to acetate first means that, as acetate is non porous, the colour sits on the top, if it dries it doesn't really matter as it's easily revived with a little water (just like watercolour paints) making them very cost effective.

I love how it looks a little vintage, don't you? I was lucky enough to also have a play with some brand new pens which Kuretake will be releasing very soon, A Wink of Stella, the name alone makes me wanna buy them...lol

I added the Wink of Stella pens as highlights to this image, lighting was not great today so they aren't the easiest to see in this pic.
