Craftevent...

Hi stampers!
This weekend I spent last saturday
at an excellent craftevent!
There were over 100 ladies in different ages
making contributions to four different challenges.
It were demos, lotteries, good food and
really nice company around the table!

This is what I managed to do during the day:
(As I didn´t keep the deadline I didn´t
joing the challenge, though it was a very
nice sketch to work with!)

My way of colouring...

Hi stampers!
Today I have a new distress ink
tutorial for you.
I made it for The Magnolia Day and
showed it at my workshop.
You can follow how I colour this new
Tilda from Sweet Christmas collection.
There is som many different ways of
colouring with distress ink reinkers.
This is just my way and as I love to read
about how other work with different
medias I hope you will enjoy this!



Here I have stamped the same image four times
so you can see how I work through the process
of colouring with Distress ink reinkers.
The ink I  use is Staz on Timber brown
as you see in the end of this tutorial.
The paper is Montval Canson 300 gram.
Brushes are Italeri 00, 000.


To the left: I  start colouring.
Skin: tattered rose mixed with vintage photo.
I always start with the face/skin as this is
the most difficult part to do, for me that is.
I add distress ink firmly in the edges, rince the brush
in water and work with smooth hand and
circle movements towards the center of the
face leaving a brighter area in the middle.
I make the skin by putting on colour
2-3 times in this first step. It have to
dry a little in between.
Dress/socks: Victorian velvet mixed with
dusty concord and aged mahogny.
Hair: Antique Linen.

To the right: I have used the same mix of colours
 for the dress and added it in the edges
for more and deeper shadows.


Here you can see how I try to create shadows in
the edges of the image.


Here you can see the first step with
antiqe linen for the blond hair.


I have now added very little walnut stain
mixed with a big drop of water.
I still want her to be blond.


At the third image you can see how I made
the colour darker to create shadows.
Dress/socks: I have used the same mix as
before and just added weathered wood
for the edges. I try to only add this dark
 colour to the edges to keep the bright
look in the middle.
Cheeks: Aged mahogny in a big drop
af water (I  make it very light).


Line of hearts: Aged mahogny mixed with black sooth.
Around the image I have used antique linen,
which make it looks like a warm loving light
behind/around cute Tilda.

I have added a white line to the socks to make it
look like highlights. I use the pen: Inkessentials white.


Here you can see how I have added walnut
stain a second time to Tildas hair.


I use this ink for colouring with distress ink reinkers.
It´s a very beatiful brown tone, not to red as some
brown inkpads are in my oppinion.
I prefer this brown  inkpad instead of black ink.


Thanks for visiting me!
Love & Light
