Today I thought I would share a tutorial on how to make gorgeous water color flowers! I can tell you that they are honestly very addicting and I love making them!
Have fun, don't forget to leave comments, it shows us bloggers a little love.
Water color flower tutorial!
you will need the following items:
1. RE INKERS 2. SPRITZ BOTTLE 3. SCISSORS 4. TRAY OR LID FOR INKS 5. VERSA MARK 6. WHITE EMBOSING POWDER (OR GOLD, SILVER) 7. HEAT GUN 8. SU SHIMMER WHITE CARD STOCK (A MUST, FOR THE TUTORIAL I USED GP, FROM WALMART AND IT DID NOT WORK PROPERLY)
***I am not a su demo, but will give you the order #'s and a contact incase you need one at the end***
First stamp you image with versamark, sprinkle the EP over the image. Heat set, you may do several at one time as I did here!
After your image is is heat set, give it a rought cut out, this does NOT need to be detailed or perfect.
Now for the fun!
You will want to add a few drops of several re-inkers in your tray (or whatever u use)
you can use several colors, I've used up to 3 and 4, but play and have fun.
*now, the reason I use the SU shimmer white, is because the water beads on it, and it stays nice. I tried for this to use the GP, from walmart, and it did not work. Please invest in the good paper, you won't regret it.*
Sprtz your paper well, leaving puddles of water on the image. You'll see lots of puddles and this is good!!
Take your brush, (i used this pen, and some of the ink sucked inside, I would not use a water pen, but a brush) Dip it into your ink and lightly touch your water spots, I tend to go with one color on a few spots, and then with the others around. play with it, you will be shocked at what you see. at the end we dumped all the extra ink on one flower and the result was stunning...stunning ...stunning
****as you can see in the picture the water is soaking in this will NOT do that with the the su paper, I am sorry I ran out, and was not able to show you the proper way, your ink will be all puddled up and that is what you want*****
******the final image will be all puddled and not soaked in like in this picture again sorry!*****
Let dry and cut out and use on cards, scrap book pages. you can also use vellum on this project for a curled look that is fantastic!!!
On my card, I used the real flower with the proper paper, you can see the difference..
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR JOINING ME TODAY ON THE OPERATION WRITE HOME SPRING BLOG HOP! PLEASE LEAVE ME A COMMENT AND IF YOU TRY THIS IN THE FUTURE LET ME KNOW I'D LOVE TO SEE WHAT YOU MADE.

Thank You for your tutorial! Thank You for all your work with OWH.
Great tutorial Dawn! I'll have to give this a whirl!
What a cool tutorial. I suppose that watercolor paper won't work as it will soak up the water? I love the final outcome. TFS
Dawn
This is a wonderful tutorial. I will need to see if I have any paper that will work today until I can place an order for the SU type.
Awesome tutorial. I'm relatively new to card making and haven't seen this technique before. Thanks for sharing!
What a great idea. Thanks for the tutorial. I'll have to give this a try.
great tutorial
love how the flower turned out!
Yes, I have used this tech before and the results are fab. I used four or five shades of pink, coral and red. I really like the rusty oragne colors you choose. beautiful.
What a great tutorial! Beautiful results, I'll have to try this. Your card is gorgeous!
So stunning! Thank you so much for the tutorial! I've seen these elsewhere and didn't know how to do them - now I can! YAY!
Dawn,
Great job on the tutorial! I am a SU demonstrator and I just love this stamp and technique. I hope folks order from your friend....it's such a great image to work with.
Gorgeous card Dawn and such a wonderful tutorial!!
Wonderful tutorial! Thanks. Jan
gorgeous flowers! Thanks for the excellent tutorial. Joanej in Calif.
Oh Dawn, thank you for the tutorial! One of my SU demo friends showed us how to do this last Nov., I have all the stuff and haven't gotten around to it yet. Today is the day. It kind of reminds me of using the distress inks, it's all addicting isn't it? Happy Saturday!
What a neat technique! Thank you for sharing the tutorial and your beautiful creation!
Dawn, What a great technique! Thank you so much for taking the time to make the tutorial. This definitely will go into my "idea journal". Blessings, Louise

Great tutorial. I tried this before from a video, with the wrong paper. Your info is fabulous. Thank you so much. Velda
Wonderful tutorial! I really appreciate you letting us know what you tried and what worked. I hope to try this soon!!
Excellent! I love this tutorial. And you are right, you can't get the WOW results without the SU paper.
Thanks for hopping!
Wow! Your flower is beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial!
Such gorgeous color in your flowers. Thank you for the beautiful tutorial.
Often we learn as much or more by our mistakes, so thanks for sharing your mistake (using GP paper)instead of SU paper.
Just love this tutorial. This is sooooooo pretty!

Those flowers are so great. I love this technique. Thanks for sharing the do's and donts of them.
I love how both the flowers turned out! Beautiful! TFS! :)
Love the technique! Thanks for sharing a new way to add color!
I loved the directions and pics! I will use this for my stamp club in the near future. I love the way the flower has such depth and dimension with the various colors!
Great tutorial! Love all of the detail and the flower is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
fantastic card and tutorial. Thanks for supporting OWH
Hey! I think I want to try that! Thanks for inspiring me to do something new!
Thanks for the tutorial...your card is beautiful!
What a great way of doing water coloring for a new and different look! Yes, I completely agree with you to have a good quality of Glossy Card Stock, HEAVY Glossy Card Stock works great and that is some times hard to find but I do know that popular craft stores do carry it. Touch and feel it first and you can make up your mind easily. If it is thin like layering paper, pass that one up.
You final project is beautiful. I love the colors on your tutorial and how you showed it spreading with the no so good paper, excellent way to show what can happen but still works. You other card with the colors are fabulous!
Thank you for sharing and I will be doing this technique!

great technique and beautiful card!
Great job on the tutorial - love all the detail. I am definately going to try it!
Wow - what a great tutorial!! Thank you for sharing your know-how! The finished product is so much more dynamic than the stamp image on it's own...you really made it come alive! TFS!! Happy Hopping! :)
Your roses are absolutely AMAZING!!
I'm so glad you shared this tutorial! I love making these water-colored flowers, it's so much fun! You've made it a breeze for everyone to try too! High 5's!

Loved the tutorial and both flowers, thank you! but I have a questions...since the paper has been heat embossed and now has the glossy coating of that embossing the paper is covered so why would the type of paper make a difference?
JUST wondering,
Susan
thanks for the tutorial - very inspirational.
Keira :)
This is awesome! I am going to have to get over my fear of heat embossing so that I can give this a try. Roses are one of my very favorite things. I love your tutorial! Thank you for sharing!
That is a gorgeous flower on your card. I love the coloring you did. The card itself is great, too. Nice colors.
Great tutorial!! I love to watercolor, and using re-inkers is a great technique.

Dawn,

Thank you for the easy to follow tutorial.
Lovely card! Great colors. The flower is gorgeous
Great tutorial and a gorgious card!
This is a great tutorial and stunning effects! I tried it right away, but I didn't have the SU paper and you're right, it didn't work. I can see the possibilities and I plan to get some of the right paper and try it again. thanks for sharing.
Love to learn new things....Thank you soo much!!
Great tutorial. I have tried this once, but forgot all about it. It is such a pretty effect.
What a stunning image. I am bookmarking this blog as I will surely try it in the next few days and drop you a line to let you know how it turned out.
Could we use phot paper also to do this technique?
