SCS Sketch Challenge - SC195 and Watercoloring with SU Markers and Pastels Tutorial

Hi Everyone!! I decided to participate in today's SCS challenge. Today's sketch challenge code is SC195. . .go check out all the fabulous challenge cards. I haven't participated in any SCS challenge for months. I just haven't had the time to play. I've been busy doing my own thing but I think I'm going to go back to participating in SCS and blog challenges at least once a week.

I really liked this sketch because. . it's easy. LOL! Nothing complicated about it. I decided to use a Fall/Thanksgiving theme this time. I just love the earthy colors of fall! The colors are so warm and cozy looking.

I decided to play with my Primas again and embellish it a bit. I'm having so much fun dressing up the Prima flowers.

The video tutorial above is on watercoloring with SU Markers and Pastels on watercolor paper. I posted this tutorial on my Stampin Inspirations Club Site last week but readers of this blog may not have visited that blog so I decided to post it here.

The rich color effects are the result of using the SU Markers and Pastels. It's so fun because it's so easy to watercolor with markers. I absolutely LOVE it.




Here is my Prima all dressed up!! I used the "SU Hodge Podge Antique Bronze Hardware" which is sadly retired. Whaaa!!

I was looking at the hardware with the ribbon attached and doesn't it kinda look like a fish? LOL! That wasn't the effect I wanted but oh, well!







Here is the sketch if you want to try it out!!
