Creative Coloring with Erum: Beautiful Blossoms Card

February 11, 2019 By Erum Tasneem in Cards, Creative Coloring with Erum, Daily Inspiration, Video Tutorials 10 Comments Tags: Artist Markers, Beautiful Blossoms

Hi everyone! Erum here with a new card featuring the Beautiful Blossoms Stamp Set which I colored with Artist Markers.

I began by stamping the gorgeous Beautiful Blossoms with Permanent Black Ink onto Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock. I love blue and green. So I decided to use the Glacier Caves Set of Artist Markers to color my panel.

To begin laying down the color, I started with the darkest shade that is the Sapphire Artist Marker. The second color I used was Persian Blue and the last color to blend all of it was Caribbean Sky.

For the flowers, I chose to go with the Rock Collection Set of Artist Markers. I colored two flowers in Industrial Diamond, Silver Stone, and Limestone Artist Markers. For the rest of them, I used just the Silver Stone and Limestone Artist Markers.

After I was done with the coloring, I cut out the lower portion of the panel following the outline of the stamped image and set it aside.

I took another panel of white cardstock, of the same dimensions as the card front, and added a few scored lines to the lower portion. This was done to add interest. I glued this onto the card front. Next, I proceeded to stamp my sentiment. To do that, I first placed the colored panel onto the card front to get an idea where the sentiment would go. Then, I stamped the sentiment and adhered my colored panel to the card front with foam tape.

I hope you liked my card! I had fun creating it! You can watch the video below or on YouTube in HD.

Creative Coloring with Erum: Coloring Hibiscus Garden 3D Die Set

February 4, 2019 By Erum Tasneem in Cards, Creative Coloring with Erum, Daily Inspiration, Video Tutorials 8 Comments Tags: Floral Heart Frame, Hibiscus Garden 3D Die Set, Label Love, Watercolor Brush Markers

Hello, friends! Erum here with another video for Creative Coloring with Erum. Today I will use the Hibiscus Garden 3D Die Set on my project.

I started by die cutting just one flower and the fern leaf twice in watercolor cardstock from the Hibiscus Garden 3D Die Set. Next, I used the Watercolor Brush Markers to color the die-cuts.

For the flower, I used Rubellite and Midnight Violet Watercolor Brush Markers. To color the pistil, I used Citrus Burst, Warm Sunshine, and Autumn Blaze Watercolor Brush Markers. Finally, for the leaves, I used Citrus Burst, Limeade, and Emerald.

Once the die-cuts were watercolored, I worked on the card front. For this, I used the Floral Heart Frame Die and die cut the card front by placing the die slightly off the edge. Similarly, I die cut another panel equal to the size of the card front.

I adhered the acetate behind the card front die-cut window. Then, I glued the extra panel to cover the acetate so it doesn’t show from the inside. To do a bit of inlaid die cutting, I also die cut another piece with Floral Heart Frame Die and adhered this onto the acetate.

Before arranging the floral die-cuts, I added black paint splatters. Then, I adhered all the die-cuts and added a few more black paint splatters.

To finish, I added a sentiment from Label Love Stamp Set and adhered a few sequins.

Creative Coloring with Erum – Stamp Focus: Wonderland

January 28, 2019 By Erum Tasneem in Cards, Creative Coloring with Erum, Daily Inspiration, Stamp Focus, Video Tutorials 55 Comments Tags: Artist Markers, Essential Black and White, Watercolor Brush Markers, Watercolor Pan Set, Wonderland

Hi there everyone! Erum here with three cards to share featuring the Wonderland Stamp Set.

On my cards, I used the Watercolor 36 Pan Set, Artist Markers, and the Watercolor Brush Markers. I love how different all the cards look. Let’s start with the first card.

I kept the card super simple and let the Wonderland Stamp Set be the focus. To start, I stamped the biggest flower first then used the Wonderland Mask Stencil to mask off my image and stamp the rest of the images. Since I planned to color the images with Artist Markers I used Permanent Black Ink for stamping on Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock.

Artist Markers in the following shades were used to color the images:

Yellow: Buttercream, Warm Sunshine, and Caramel Toffee

Brown: Caramel Toffee, Paper Bag, and Dark Chocolate

Blue: Sea Glass, Ocean Waves, and Dusk

Orange: Sunkissed, Orange Cream, and Autumn Blaze

After coloring, I added black paint splatters and stamped my sentiment. To add a bit of interest, I also added a strip of striped patterned paper from the Essential Black and White Paper Pack.

My next card is a bit whimsical. I stamped several images from the Wonderland Stamp Set onto watercolor cardstock with Permanent Black Ink. I then used the Watercolor 36 Pan Set to color the images.

After I was done, I cut the panel to fit the width of my card front, but first I adhered it to a slightly larger piece of black cardstock and then mounted it on the card front.

To finish, I stamped this wonderful sentiment and adhered an enamel dot heart next to it from the Green Fields Enamel Dots Set.

I have a process video for this card. I stamped just one flower onto watercolor cardstock with Permanent Black Ink. To color, I used the Watercolor Brush Markers: Winter Wonderland Set.

For the flower I used, Ruby Red, Rouge, and Citrus Burst Watercolor Brush Markers. To color the stem, I used Citrus Burst and Emerald Watercolor Brush Makers. And for the background, I used a mix or Lagoon, Persian Blue, and a little bit of Ruby Red.

Once the watercolor was dry, I added water splatters and wiped them off with a tissue. As a result, I ended up with tons of gorgeous texture. Next, I added fine splatters of both black and white paint.

To finish, I stamped two sentiments, that I absolutely adore! And then I adhered a few clear drops.

You can watch the video below or on YouTube in HD.

One last look at all the three cards!

Creative Coloring with Erum: Pencil Shading on Cattleya

January 21, 2019 By Erum Tasneem in Cards, Creative Coloring with Erum, Daily Inspiration, Video Tutorials 50 Comments Tags: Build A Flower Cattleya, Create-A-Wreath, Mandala Die

Hi there everyone! Erum here today, and I’m sharing a pencil-colored card with you featuring the Build-A-Flower: Cattleya Stamp Set.

To begin, I stamped the Build-A-Flower: Cattleya with Permanent Black Ink onto a regular white cardstock. Next, I used my writing pencil to color the image. To increase the intensity of the shading, just press the pencil a bit hard on paper. In order to add light shading, I worked with a very light hand.

After I colored the image, I added fine black dots on the petals with a black pen. I love doing this! I think the flowers look beautiful and very different after I add the speckles.

Next, I die cut the image and set it aside.

I die cut a window out of my card front and another same sized panel out of Create-A-Wreath Die Set. I also die cut the Mandala Die and sandwiched it between the two layers to make my lacy window. On the front, I adhered the image that I colored with foam tape.

I also adhered a sentiment which I heat embossed on black cardstock with Pure White Embossing Powder. In order for the adhesive to not show through from the inside, I used some Glue Tape.

To finish, I added a few black paint splatters and adhered a few silver sequins.

To watch me create this card, please check out the video below or on YouTube in HD.

I hope you liked my card and enjoyed the card making process. Pick up your writing pencil and give pencil shading a try!

Altenew World Map Stamp Set | Watercolor Brush Markers | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Hi there everyone! Erum here today with another session of Creative Coloring with Erum. Today I am sharing five cards with you featuring the World Map Stamp Set and watercolored backgrounds. I used the new Winter Wonderland Watercolor Brush Markers to color a few panels then created clean and simple cards out of them.

I started by stamping several panels with the World Map Stamp Set. All the panels were heat embossed using different embossing powders. I will mention the embossing powder colors/names as we get to the projects.

The card that you see above is gorgeous! I used Antique Gold Embossing Powder to heat emboss this panel. I then scribbled Emerald, Persian Blue, and Lagoon Watercolor Brush Markers directly on the panel. Next, I sprayed this panel very generously with water. I also used a paintbrush to help cover the white spots that didn’t catch the watercolor.

After this, I used a heat gun to dry the panel just a little bit then I added splatters of the watercolors that I used. As the panel started drying, the splatters became more visible increasing the grungy, textured look. In the end, I added water splatters and sopped up the excess with a tissue paper.

To build my card, I adhered the watercolor panel onto a card base. Next, I cut a banner of black cardstock and heat embossed my sentiment. I also added a thin strip of Gold Glitter Tape above the sentiment. Next to the “hello”, I adhered a die-cut Gold Foil heart with the help of the tiny stars and hearts dies that come in the New Day Card Kit. I adhered the sentiment label on the card front, but before doing that, I also added a bit of gold string for interest.

For the second panel, I started by scribbling directly with Persian Blue Watercolor Brush Marker and then squeezed a bit of the watercolor on a palette and spread it with the help of a water brush. Next, I applied Lagoon Watercolor Brush Marker in some places and then went back in with Persian Blue Watercolor Marker.

I used Caribbean Sky Embossing Powder for the heat embossing on this panel. In the end, I added a few splatters of water and used a tissue paper to soak them up.

For the card, I decided to add a few strips which I cut out of a panel that I colored with Persian Blue and Caribbean Sky Artist Markers. This is an interesting technique, you should definitely watch the video to see how I created the panel. I then cut out several strips of various thickness out of that panel and adhered it below my watercolored panel.

To finish off, I stamped the sentiment in Charcoal Suit Crisp Dye Ink and adhered a tiny crystal heart next to the sentiment.

I made two cards out of my third panel. But first, let me tell you how I watercolored this panel. I started by spritzing water onto the panel, which has Copper heat embossing, by the way. Then I added Rouge Watercolor Brush Marker and it starting spreading right away, following the pathway that the water spritz made and formed a beautiful vein-like pattern. Next, I added Ruby Red Watercolor Brush Marker and the third color I added was Citrus Burst Watercolor Brush Marker. I did go back to add more of Rouge Watercolor.

I used Halftone Hearts Nesting Die Set to die cut a heart out of this panel. Before stamping the sentiment, I inked the panel with Antique Linen Distress Ink. Next, I placed a bit of gold string then adhered my heart over it. To finish, I adhered a few sequins.

I cut the leftover piece into a rectangle and mounted it on a mat to give it a framed and finished look. Next, I added score lines onto my card front and stamped the sentiment.

To finish, I mounted the framed watercolor panel onto the card front with foam tape.

Now onto my last card which has Platinum embossing on it. On the panel, I first generously applied Espresso Watercolor. I did leave a bit of a border to which I added Jet Black Watercolor Brush Marker. I made sure to touch the already wet Espresso watercolor so that the two would react and form cool patterns.

To make it even more interesting, I went back in with Espresso Watercolor Brush Marker and added color to the area where the two colors met so that a little bit of black flows into the Espresso area.

For the card, I cut the watercolored panel to the width of my card and adhered it to a piece of black cardstock that was slightly larger than the watercolored panel. Before mounting this on the card front with foam tape, I stamped the sentiment.

To finish, I adhered a small die-cut heart next to the sentiment.

I hope you liked the new Watercolor Brush Markers as much as I did. The only two colors that I didn’t use on my cards are Mountain Mist and Metallic Silver.

Creative Coloring with Erum: Perfectly Perfect Floral Vine

January 7, 2019 By Erum Tasneem in Cards, Creative Coloring with Erum, Daily Inspiration, Video Tutorials 35 Comments Tags: Artist Markers, Flower Vine, Perfectly Perfect, Watercolor 36 Pan Set

Hi there! Erum here today with a floral card to share featuring the Perfectly Perfect and Flower Vine Stamp Sets.

I am using the Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock since I will be coloring with Artist Markers. To start, I stamped and masked the flowers from the Perfectly Perfect Stamp Set and at the very end, stamped the image from Flower Vine Stamp Set. Doing so will result in parts of Flower Vine Stamp Set peeking through from behind the Perfectly Perfect stamped images. In turn, the final result will look like it was one stamp!

To color the flowers, I used the Warm and Cozy Artist Markers from Set E. In addition to this, I also used Buttercream from Summer Afternoon Set. I was aiming for a yellow tint on my petals hence the use of Buttercream Artist Marker.

To color the leaves, I used the Tropical Forest Set of Artist Markers. These markers are also part of the Set E. And, to color the smaller flowers on the vine, I used various shades of orange, Buttercream and also added hints of Warm Sunshine Artist Marker.

Next, I used the Watercolor 36 Pan Set to add a bit of watercolor to the background. This will increase the faux depth and show more dimension. I used a mix of greens but mainly I used the Forest Glades Watercolor and a little bit of Evergreen. Since I used Artist Markers and Permanent Black Ink for my image, the color won’t react and will not make any difference if I go over the stamped image. This is very helpful if you want to make a quick background. In addition to the watercolor, I also used the greys from Artist Markers Set E to add more shadows to the images.

To finish off, I added a few black paint splatters and stamped the sentiment.

You can watch the video below or watch it in HD on YouTube to watch me color.

Creative Coloring with Erum: Sunlit Flower Card Making Kit

December 24, 2018 By Erum Tasneem in Cards, Creative Coloring with Erum, Daily Inspiration, Video Tutorials 22 Comments Tags: Artist Markers, Sunlit Flower Card-Making Kit

Hi there everyone!

Erum here today with a quick video tutorial using the very handy Sunlit Flower Card Making Kit.

To begin, I stamped the images on Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock with Permanent Black Ink. Next, I used the Artist Markers in Mango Smoothie and Cotton Candy to color the flowers.

Firstly, I laid down the yellow color from Mango Smoothie in a flicking motion, moving towards the edge of the petal. Secondly, I added a layer of Cotton Candy Artist Marker in the same flicking motion. Since I am only using the marker colors that came with the kit, I then used the Colorless Blender to soften the tips of the petals. As a result, the petals have a more finished look now. In case you want to see for yourself, you can watch the video at the end of this post and you will notice the difference in the result.

For the leaves, I only used Frayed Leaf Artist Marker. In order to get a darker shade at the midrib, I went over the area a few extra times. I also used Frayed Leaf Artist Marker to color the flower centers.

Next, I fussy cut the images and set them aside. I took out a pre-scored note card from the Sunlit Flower Card Making Kit and folded it in half; this will be my card front. I added a few black paint splatters on the front using the Watercolor 36 Pan Set. Next, I adhered the flowers with foam tape and used hot glue to adhere the leaves.

After stamping the sentiment, I die cut the solid layer of the Sunlit Butterfly Die and colored it with Mango Smoothie and Frayed Leaf Artist Marker. As you can see, the floral images have a bold black outline so the butterfly kind of looked plain against them, therefore, I added a bit of doodling to it.

After my card was complete, I worked on the envelope. I used the light grey colored envelope from the kit, I think this is the Limestone color.

I stamped one flower and the leafy sprig a few times just on one corner of the envelope. Then, I colored it in the same manner as I colored the images on the card.

You can watch the video below or on YouTube. In the video, I will also share what comes in the Sunlit Flower Card Making Kit.

Creative Coloring with Erum – Stamp Focus: Engagement Wishes

December 17, 2018 By Erum Tasneem in Cards, Creative Coloring with Erum, Daily Inspiration, Stamp Focus, Video Tutorials 21 Comments Tags: Artist Markers, Engagement Wishes

Altenew Engagement Wishes | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Hi everyone!

Erum here today with a few projects featuring the Engagement Wishes Stamp Set. My cards are all really quick but pretty looking cards that you can whip up if you are in a hurry. All my cards also feature the beautiful Blush Cardstock.

Stamp Focus: Engagement Wishes

For my first card, I did a bit of masking and stamped a border with Clear Embossing Ink and then heat embossed with Cyrstal Clear Embossing Powder. Next, I used Frosty Pink Artist Marker to add a bit of color starting from the petals near the flower center and moving outwards in a flicking motion. I didn’t cover the entire petal and that is what creates interest.

To finish off, I used the Coral Berry Artist Marker on the anthers and then adhered a few clear drops for interest. I also went over the stamped design with a shimmer brush. To stamp the sentiment, I used Coral Berry Crisp Dye Ink and heat embossed it with Crystal Clear Embossing Powder.

Okay, so if you have seen the Altenew Golden Peach and Platinum Embossing Powders, you would know that they are gorgeous and it’s hard to choose one between the two. So, for my second card, I heat embossed one flower and two leaves in Pure White, Golden Peach, and Platinum Embossing Powders on vellum.

Next, I colored on the backside of the images with Coral Berry Artist Marker to add a little pop of color. I fussy cut the images out and then began working on the card front. For this, I cut out two strips of cardstock.

For the Golden Peach card, I heat embossed the strips with the Golden Peach Embossing Powder. To make the white and silver cards, I used white cardstock and Silver Glitter Tape respectively.

I adhered the images with hot glue so that it wouldn’t show off from the front since it’s clear. To finish off, I heat embossed the sentiments on all the card fronts and adhered them to their bases.

For my last card, I used the layout of the first card. Instead of stamping directly on the card, I stamped on a piece of vellum with Clear Embossing Ink and heat embossed the image with Pure White Embossing Powder.

I did a bit of masking on this piece as well to make my border look like an overlapping floral design.

Next, I fussy cut the vellum piece from one edge and adhered it to my card front. To add a bit more feminine touch, I added a few pearls on the anthers. I also applied shimmer brush over the stamped area. To finish off, I heat embossed the sentiment and added a couple more pearls.

I hope you liked my quick but pretty cards. FYI, I made all these in a day and I could make many more similar cards if I could.

I have a process video that you can watch below or on YouTube.

Video: Creative Coloring with Erum: Stencil Impression

December 3, 2018 By Erum Tasneem in Cards, Creative Coloring with Erum, Daily Inspiration, Video Tutorials 24 Comments Tags: Always There, Floral Mandala, Just Because, Metallic Shimmer Ink Sprays, Square Weave Pattern

Hi everyone!

I have two cards to share with you today and a stenciling technique. You can watch the video at the end of this post to get a better idea of how to go about it.

For my cards, I will be using the Square Weave Pattern and the Floral Mandala Stencils. I start by adding a little of Cosmic Berry and Lagoon Metallic Ink Sprays onto the watercolor palette. I am going to use these sprays as watercolors.

First, I wet the watercolor cardstock and started adding a diluted version of both the colors. I also mixed the two colors in some areas to form a beautiful purple shade. While the cardstock is still wet, I placed the stencil over it and then placed something flat and heavy over it carefully. I let this dry naturally. When you come back later to this, remove the heavy objects carefully and remove the stencil to reveal the beautiful stencil impression.

Next, I stamped several flowers and leaves from Always There Stamp Set onto watercolor paper. I used the Lagoon and Cosmic Berry Metallic Ink Sprays to watercolor the images. For the flower center, I used the Jet Black Artist Marker and a white gel pen to add detailing.

For the first card, I die cut the frame from New Day Card Kit in white and silver. I used the silver frame as an offset to the white then adhered the frame with foam tape. Then I started to arrange my flowers with foam tape. I glued the leaves directly. Since I pinched the tips of the leaves, that added to the dimension and I didn’t need extra foam tape to adhere them.

For the sentiment, I used Just Because Stamp Set and adhered it in an arched way.

I followed the same steps to create the second card, just changed the layout.

Here is a closer look at the stencil impression.

Video: Creative Coloring with Erum: Adding Details to Die-Cuts

Altenew Peony Blossom Dies | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Hi there everyone!

Today I will be using the Build-A-Flower: Peony Blossom Coordinating Dies for my project. I have colored die-cuts before with watercolors and also with Artist Markers. But today I will be adding detailing to the die-cuts like I do with stamps.

So, I cut a bunch of die-cuts for one flower out of Solar White Cardstock. And I used the Artist Markers in Shades of Purple to color the petals starting with Midnight Violet Artist Marker.

The notches on the Build-A-Flower: Peony Blossom are already there as guides for where to add shadows. This is where I will add the darkest color, Midnight Violet. Then I blended it out with Deep Iris Artist Marker, extending the lines…moving towards the flower center.

I also added the darkest color next to the flower center and then blended it out with lighter shades.

For the flower center, I used the colors from Summer Afternoon Artist Markers. For the leaves, I used the Green Fields Artist Markers. I started with the darkest color Evergreen, adding it to the notches, building the veins and midrib with a very light hand and then blended it out with Forest Glades Artist Marker which I will further blend with Frayed Leaf Artist Marker.

For the background, I added a color wash of Parrot and Forest Glades watercolor. Next, I added partial stamping with the Dainty Swiss Dots Stamp Set and Bamboo Crisp Dye Ink.

I also altered the Mandala Die to add as an accent when arranging the floral dies.

In the end, I added black paint splatters to balance the Label Love sentiment.

You can watch the video below or on YouTube to find out how I colored the die-cuts.
