The Magic of Cling Wrap and Watercolor!

[@VickiParfenow]

The Watercolor paper and paints can be purchased through my Amazon affiliate links in the description. 🙂

[@kimconnollysolocampermarri467]

These are gorgeous! Can’t wait to try them myself. I love your teaching style. You’re explanations are clear, concise and calmly executed. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make these videos.

[@VickiParfenow]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. ❤

[@karendirmish2696]

Learned a lot, Cling Wrap is about to leave the kitchen and find a home in my Art Room! Thank you, Karen Dirmish, Learner 16:13

[@sharmanmurphree-roberts4018]

Those are really pretty! A tip - to help flatten your cards completely, run them through your die cutting machine, with no dies, of course. It works great!

[@VickiParfenow]

That’s a great idea. Thank you. ❤️🫶🏻

[@laurielbk]

Wow! I love these! I love watercolor - but I am not an artist, so I have never even tried to do it myself. I think I could do this! Thanks you for this video! Can't wait to see how mine turn out! I really am inspired that I might be able to make something beautiful.

[@VickiParfenow]

Oh this makes me so happy Laurie! I’m glad you’re inspired to try something new. 😄

[@BlessedForever888]

[@lindadunstall1790]

Hi there! Just discovered these beautiful creations of yours! Who would have thought that the fairly random placement of water, colour & Glad Wrap can produce such exquisite results. All my cards are original one ofs, so this technique really appeals. Lovely! TFS🥰🌹

[@VickiParfenow]

Thank you so much!❤

[@VickiParfenow]

I love making original art on my cards too. Enjoy the technique. 🫶🏻

Glad you like it! Cling wrap and watercolour are fun creative tools. 🫶🏻👩🏻‍🎨🎨

[@erinblu8551]

Very pretty! Love the technique, thanks! I think if I did this I would love to do the die cuts with dark blue and white and offset them so they pop a little more! Love it!

[@VickiParfenow]

Thank you so much. What a great idea to offset the diecuts! That would look amazing. 🫶🏻👩🏻‍🎨🎨💐

[@gailturpin-crosby5554]

Thank you, I've used cling film before with both watercolours and FW acrylic inks as backgrounds which I loved but not in card making, so I'm all set for giving it a go now! ❤

[@mdwms6152]

[@rdecook651]

such a simple technique. Love this. thanks for sharing. add some lines of glue, let it get tacky, then apply foil or gold flakes, creating seams.

Great tip! Foiling makes everything look great. 👍❤️🌟

What a fun idea! I have a huge collection of blank cards left over from years ago. Some of them have debossed borders with colored frames and lined envelopes to match. This will be fun and easy to try. Thank you!

[@Verycreative45]

Thank you for this they’re absolutely beautiful . One question can you do this texture in Christmas cards too , I make my own cards so it would be nice to do something totally different to what I’m use too . You’re so inspiring. Watching from United Kingdom 🇬🇧

[@VickiParfenow]

Yes, absolutely. You could use a Christmas Greeting Stamp or die cut on the front of the card, or stamp a Christmas greeting inside the cards. I love using heat set embossing powder and a Christmas greeting stamp straight over the watercolor . It works! Black or white would be my choices.

[@coreenoei7650]

So glad I saw this video. I think I am going to try this and perhaps use metallic watercolor inks.

[@VickiParfenow]

Go for it!❤

[@VickiParfenow]

Ooh, that’s an awesome idea. I bet they’ll look great. ❤

Absolutely beautiful technique. Just discovered your channel. I love the glad wrap idea

[@VickiParfenow]

Thank you so much.

[@VickiParfenow]

So glad you found me. ❤Thsnk you. 🫶🏻

[@kayequinn7146]

Beautiful,thanks for sharing. What is the name of the small die cut instrument you used? The large ones I see in craft stores are too large & expensive. Also,can any brand of design or stencil be used with it? I look forward to other videos

[@VickiParfenow]

The die cutting machine is a sizzix big shot . So glad you enjoyed the video. ❤

[@lidanaude8022]

Beautiful!

[@VickiParfenow]

Thank you!❤

[@kathytincler2446]

Thank you so much for this! They are beautiful! Did you buy the envelopes the same size? I don't want to have to make envelopes. Would this technique work with 'cardstock' cards and matching envelopes (so I don't have to size cards and make envelopes) or is the cardstock to thin?

[@VickiParfenow]

These are great questions…. 🙂I would recommend buying your envelopes first, then cut your cards slightly smaller than the envelope so they fit inside. Make your cards from watercolour paper, card stock won’t be sturdy enough to take so much water. I like Canson XL watercolour pads, they are easy to find , there’s a link in the description. You can create a nice, crisp fold on your cards using the edge of some scissors if you don’t have a bone folder or scoring tool. Make sure to leave the cling film on overnight. Have fun! 🫶🏻🙌

[@madamebutterfly6470]

Do you buy masking tape from the Reject Shop? The blue or lilac 3M tape is expensive from the hardware shop $7-15 AUD if there are cheaper options that work equally?

[@julieb737]

Can you give me title or link to the other video you mentioned about ways to use die cuts please as I can’t find it . New subscriber .

[@VickiParfenow]

Thank you so much. “10 New and Creative Ways to Use Die Cuts “ is the title of the other video. Enjoy! 🫶🏻🌟

[@noafkhalid3710]

Wow amazing ❤can you mention the name of machine you have used in cutting the thank you and lily?

[@VickiParfenow]

It’s a manual die cut machine from Sizzix called a Big Shot. 🌟

[@lu-ellenhafner4968]

Could also ad a white or black stencil?

[@VickiParfenow]

The white might be too stark against the frame, but I LOVE the idea of a black stencil. ❤

[@pagalmasala]

Can you do the same with watercolor pencils?

[@VickiParfenow]

Most water based media should give you a result….crayons, markers, Watercolor pencils. As long as you use Watercolor paper, and have a wet, highly pigmented consistency, then leave overnight to dry. 🙂

[@LADELCOTO]

Curious to know what the machine you used to do the cut outs is, can you help ? Thank you Very beautiful cards and a great video..thank you

[@VickiParfenow]

Yes, thank you, the machine is a Big Shot die cutting machine from Sizzix. 🫶🏻🌟✂️

[@LADELCOTO]

@@VickiParfenow thank you

The dollar store ?

[@VickiParfenow]

Dollar Tree in the US , crazy bargains in Australia, not sure what the bargain stores are called in the UK. 😄🎅🏼🎄

[@Brainalicious]

The design on the right ended up looking like a tree frog amidst foliage.

[@cherspecialtime5266]

I'm a demonstrator

[@VickiParfenow]

🙂Oooh, that’s great! I started my stamping journey as a demonstrator 13 years ago and made so many wonderful friends and learned so many techniques that I decided to start my KZbin Channel. Stamping led me to print making and stamp carving and all things mixed media. I wish you much happiness on your journey. ❤️
