Waterdrops with Tutorial


Hi Everyone,

my blogging friend Coni from Which Craft? recently asked me how I do those water droplets by Ryn and asked me for a tutorial. So Coni, this is for you:



I made the background with Brushos - it was an experiment - I do think distress inks would be the best, but I was too lazy for sponging..... You have to use watercolor paper. Stamped the droplets with Memento Tuxedo black ink. That hold up better to water than Versafine, which I generally use



I then take a brush, brush the drop with water and immediately lift off color from the wet drop with a tissue. 


As I said - distress inks work better than Brushos.....but I still think you can see a sublte difference when you compare the first picture with this one:


The real effect you achieve with adding white highlights - my favorite pen is a white Sharpie


The whole process takes some time, but it is worth it!

Happy Stamping!

Wenn ich diese Karte anschaue, wird mir gleich etwas kühler, denn es ist unerträglich heiß und trocken hier.
Die Sonne brennt, alles verdorrt, im Garten sieht es schrecklich aus.
Vielleicht helfen deine Regentropfen etwas *hihi*
Liebe Grüße,
Flo

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am totally besotted with these drops and you're such a love to share your method with me. And this amazing card has me drooling. I have to go shopping now (for the Ryn's droplet stamp) or I'd stay and extol your virtues forever.

I, too, thought there was Glossy Accents on the water droplets. I have loved this stamp set sine I first saw it at a stamping event a year ago. Time to buy it. TFS how this is done, Cornelia!

Adding my applause to the others who commented *on time*! Slow poke me! Your water droplets are stunning; amazing how just a snippet of perfectly applied white ink makes such a difference. Thank you for the tutorial...clear and engaging! Love this! We could use some rain here; it's unusually hot (30C) and I'm sweltering!

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
