“Fairy Happy Birthday”

 Using the Rembrandt Watercolour Paints I painted in this beautiful stamped image I bought from Lili of the Valley. I started to work with layers of papers in this card which now seems to be a new path in my card-making.

Watercolours with Cardmaking

“Someone Special”

I am part of a craft Forum and on a daily basis spent some time there uploading my handcrafted cards and other makes. I am not only passionate for the Glass Paints we sell on our website but, have a bigger passion for painting and really enjoy painting with the Rembrandt Watercolours we also sell online. The sheer vibrancy and purity of the paint itself is of such high quality and, not only that, the feel of them to paint with is just beautiful. This card above uses a stamped image of an Angel sitting on a toadstool (from the Rachelle Anne Miller Collection of stamps) which I have painted in with such joy. The colours used, or at least some of are: Quinacridone Rose, Sepia, Olive Green, others I will name later when I remember them. I got a lot of good comments on this card and especially on my painting skills. The “Special Someone” I set this card to I also sent her some of the Rembrandt paints to try herself and Wow! Her results are just stunning. It amazes me when I see other crafters paint and use in their cards also. Just goes to show you that painting with paints straight onto your cards really gives a perfect and stunning finish.

Above just shows you a close up of the painted image on another angle.

If you like painting and enjoy, as much as I do, painting with watercolours I urge you to try your hand at it as it really, really, really does make such a difference than a printed painted card of an original. Yes, it takes time but, the finished result is quite something and receivers are touched by your kindness and the work gone into it too. Happy Painting All.

Watercolour in Cardmaking

” Garden of Delightful Flowers”

  

As you can see from seeing the others my passion for watercolours is never-ending! This card here is put together using another stamped image – yes! i am craft crazy for stamped images, there’s nothing more therapeutic than painting. I have used my Rembrandt Watercolours again and enjoyed making this card as the colours used in the image work so very well with the colours in the patterned paper. I just love the Quinacridone Rose and Olive Green Watercolour paints and tend to use in all my images that I paint!

 “Thoughts”

Here is a card which I have titled “thoughts” as the stamped image of the girl seems to me to be very thoughtful! This image has been painted using my Rembrandt Watercolour paints. Once done and dry I cut a oval shape around the girl and mounted onto the card with patterned Blueberry Hill papers and then embellished the card with a button, ric rac ribbon, punched paper flowers and beads and hand wrote ” Friendship” on a small mounted piece of card.

“Little Girl In The Garden”

This was produced by painting in a stamped image using my Rembrandt Watercolour Paints, which I have in 5 ml and 20ml tubes, these last for a very long time and I would not know where I would be without them as they are incredibly lovely to work with. I do use these Talens Rembrandt Watercolours to produce a painting ie, say a botanical painting or seascape also but, I tend to use a lot for handcrafting my own cards. (more…)

True Love Card

Rembrandt Watercolours are the BEST watercolour paints I have come across in my time of painting. I have been working these beautiful high quality paints for almost 5 years now and have not gone back to using any other brand. Why? Because the richness and vibrancy of their colours and quality are amazing. I have never come across a watercolour that is so beautiful to work with. The magic of these is in the richness of colour!

The card seen above, is a make I did for a challenge on the Crafts Beautiful Forum. (more…)
