Download links

Many of the fantastic comments I get through my blog & through personal e-mails ask where I buy my downloads from, so here goes for the links.

My current favourite, but be sure to check back every week or to sign up for a newsletter as Liz is a busy lady and has new downloads every couple of weeks.

Tinker and co

I have two new digital downloads from Tinker & co, I just love these designs from Tinker, the cards almost make themselves, I have previously had the toffee bear discs & the funky monkey & Sherbert fairies, but now tinker has made some really cute downloads for boys, when I have finished playing this evening I will add the cards to this post.

Colouring Digital Image Stamps - Watercolouring

Watercolouring your printed images may be a problem if you use an Inkjet printer for printing because the ink will bleed as soon as you put water to it.

But spraying your image lightly with an Inkjet Fixative, will seal the ink so you can.

For my Hettie image above, I printed a sheet of images onto 270gsm smooth finish white card, using the greyscale & photo settings on my printer & then sprayed it with my fixative.

(The fixative by Ghiant is available in 3 finishes - Matt, Satin & Glossy. I use Matt finish for watercolouring. I find the the others repel water too much to make watercolouring possible.)

I let it dry for around 10 minutes or so, added the colour from my watercolour pencils, then blended them with water. My brush wasn't dripping with water, but it wasn't dry enough for the bristles to separate either - just dabbed onto a tissue to take off the excess.

You can use the fixative to seal your image afterwards too if you like.

And voila! Watercoloured images : )

I cannot take credit for this information, I found it in a blog by liz who is the wonderful pink petticoat.
