The Art With Heart Team are back with another Creative Showcase, this time featuring different colouring techniques.The Stampin’ Up! range contains a bevy of functional and effective colouring tools that include;
I am going to use the gorgeous Good Morning Magnolia stamp set for 2 cards today with 2 different colouring techniques.
A simple colour palette for my first card.
My first card I have used the sponges and the reverse masking technique.
I have cut 2 pieces of whisper white card stock the same size and then used the stitched rectangles to make a mask. I cut out the centre of one piece of the card stock then placed it over the other piece so that I can then use the sponge to colour the background.
I placed a little bit of adhesive in the corners or tape over the edge so that we can take the mask off after using but you need to hold it in place while sponging.
I placed the the large magnolia stamp over the area so that i knew where to sponge the Magenta Madness and the Just Jade ink.
Once I had sponged the 2 colours just overlapping a little and then you get an extra colour from the blending.
Stamping the Magnolia in Memento black ink. Once I had stamped the image and then the greeting I cut out the centre with with the stitched nested label dies.
Pop the outside up on some dimensionals and the inside adhere flat to the Thick Whisper white card base. Quite and effective and simple, quick card to make.
For my second card the technique is a bit more involved but I used the same colours and stamp set so you could see the difference.
I first stamped the large Magnolia in VersaMark on the Fluid 100 WaterColour Paper and heat embossed in white Stampin' Emboss Powder. I then spritzed some water all over the magnolia with the Stampin' Spritzer. I used the reinkers of both the Just Jade and Magenta Madness into the lid of the ink pads and picked it up with the water painter and dropped the ink onto the water and it spreads out onto the leaves and magnolia. Wait for it to dry and then cut out using the Magnolia memory
It is quite a fun way to colour your larger line art images.
Now that I had finished my Magnolia I wanted to show it off so I used the Forever Greenery suite of products to help me a little.
I have a Just Jade card base, I have used Gold Foil, Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper, Forever Greenery gold Trim, Forever Flourishing dies to cut out some vellum, crumb cake and soft suede accents. I have popped all of this on a Whisper White Nested Labels Die.
I thought it would be perfect to give to a friend so the Well Written Dies are the little bling with a butterfly kiss.
I hope you have enjoyed a couple of different takes on colouring with the same colours and same stamp set.

Sharon both your cards are absolutely fabulous - I've never heard of the reverse masking technique before but you have really inspired me to give it a go.
Wow, stunning cards Sharon, but I particularly love your water coloured magnolia and all the layers and the added hint of gold!
Your cards are so beautiful, Sharon! The reverse masking is a great technique, and I love how the magnolia extends over the edges. The second magnolia is fabulous too.
Gorgeous cards Sharon and two such different colouring techniques. Love them both XX
Stunning cards, Sharon! Love them both and I didn't actually know how to make the first one before but now I do thanks to you xx

Great, vivid, colour combo, Sharon! I especially like the first card; bold and striking. :)
Both of your cards are lovely Sharon but I particularly like the way you have teamed the magnolia with the aper from Forever Ferns. It makes the perfect back drop.
Wow! Sharon, I love both of your cards. Thank you for sharing two great techniques. I'm going to try my hand at both of them. The water colouring of the magnolia on your second card is so beautiful. x
Sharon, I love both your cards. Love both your techniques with the gorgeous Magnolia. I don't think I have tried reverse masking with sponging - must give it a go. Love your watercoloured white embossed magnolia with all those layers. Both are beautiful. xxx
