Understand Blue

My name is Lydia, and by day, I'm the Community Manager of Splitcoaststampers. In my spare time, I love to make art, hike and geocache. Join me for art tutorials that anyone can recreate. My style is clean and colorful, and I love watercolor, mixed media and techniques. Each project I make has a story that goes with it, and my goal is to make you laugh and make you feel creative. :) Thanks for stopping by.

    Found you from SCS, love this technique, it opens up a world of possibilities- even dry embossing with stencil first to help. Very very cool, thanks so much.

    Not sure if I like all the bold graphic black & white, but I think it's a cool concept nonetheless. I would probably use different, or at least softer, colors. I don't have much in the way of layering stencils, & I doubt any of those I have would be "open" enough to work for this. But I can see doing a similar thing with just regular stencils with large openings, or die cut shapes in masking paper or whatever & use that as a stencil. Thank you for sharing, Lydia! I hope y'all & the kitties are doing well & staying cool. Take care, & have a fantastic day! :)

    Luminance are a mix between wax and oil, polychromos are oil based pencils, prismacolor are wax based pencils. I know the video is old, but i feel like it's important information 😅 other then that, i really enjoyed your video and it helped me out a lot. Thank you !!
