Tips: Water Coloring 101

Tips: Water Coloring 101

One beautiful way to add color to your stamped images is by water coloring. I think using water colors adds such an artistic look to your cards and really makes you feel like a real artist too 🙂 There are many different types of mediums for water coloring including pans, markers, tubes and pencils. Michael’s has a breakdown of all the different types, what the differences are and how to use them, this is a perfect guide for beginners. And my tip is: make sure to use a non water based stamping ink when using any water based coloring method, like water coloring, I prefer Staz- On myself.  Click here check out Michael’s water coloring tips.
