Watercolor Stamping: Fresh Cut Containers

[@AnnyBun]

These kind of videos. Makes me buy more stamps I dont need but can't stop trying to do what you do.. But you did such a wonderful job!!! Makes me drool

[@ycartyahoo]

I love your painting technique. I could watch you for hours.

[@1jmass]

So pretty. It is so cool to see the same markers that are generally used in bold splashes to make backgrounds used to create soft florals. It is all in the hands of the artist. Inspiring.

[@christopherfugle6592]

Fantastic demonstration using your amazing floral stamps in a whole new way. As an awful "watercolourer", this is a life saver for those of us afraid to paint. Although long, you expertly described so many successful techniques that it became an art class in itself. Your hard work and skill is so appreciated....

[@16bombers61]

Could watch your videos for ages. They are just beautiful.

[@grayja100]

Oh my goodness, these are amazing!! I could watch you paint for hours! I really appreciate how you describe what you are doing and why you are doing it.

[@dawnwplus9]

I figure that if I explain why I'm doing it, then you will be able to apply it in other areas of your work. 😉

[@evetteurbino]

Dawn, you did a marvelous job with this card and I liked your comment, and I agree with you. I love making cards no matter how long it takes because I make them for friends and family, so to me it's worth making them for the people I love. I love to hear from them how much they love the card. I love watching your tutorials because I'm learning to watercolor and I love your paintings and stamping watercolors techniques. Thanks for your videos. :-)

[@dawnbegun5296]

I just stumbled on your incredible talent because of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge and the only thing that I can say is WOW!!! Wow!! wow!

[@cececarter5238]

I agree with Tammy Mohr: Your videos are not too long....I love how you go into detail! You are so talented and I love your stamps! I NEED more LOL!

[@iartistdotme]

Adding that tiny bit of dark behind the flowers to describe the edges is such a wonderful affect. I've seen similar done many times before with a brush and tried it but never seemed to "get it" and watching you with a marker - boy it makes a lot of difference and so much sense. Thanks so much for this tip and beautiful card.

[@dawnwplus9]

It is amazing what a difference it makes. Thank you for watching and commenting! 😊

[@RHG412]

I love watching you work! So peaceful! The results are just my kind of loose painterly style. I always learn something. I'm so glad I have all these stamp sets! Tomorrow: PAINT! Thanks!

[@adj822]

Beautiful! Your videos are so helpful and inspire me to get painting. When you love to create it can never be too much work! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos they are much appreciated!. Your stamps are wonderful and your talent is amazing!

[@Leeks_photo]

Dawn, thank you so much for this video! I can speak nothing but WOW! You are a master of water coloring!

[@barbsummersengler5749]

There's not much I can say that I haven't already in the past. You know I ADORE your videos but I also really appreciate the fact that you share your talent! We are all so lucky! ♥

[@dawnwplus9]

Thanks Barb! Can't wait to see you and give you a giant hug!

[@dawnwplus9]

Thanks Barb! Can't wait to see you and give you a giant hug!

[@SandyAllnock1]

Just wow! Great way to end a long day! Thank you Dawn!!

[@dawnwplus9]

😘

[@tmarietamistamps]

I always love your videos, no matter how long! You're such a great teacher, so easy to understand exactly what you're doing and why you're doing it. Thanks for another great video, can't wait to give this a try! I've had this stamp set and haven't played with it yet

[@dawnwplus9]

Thank you Tami, you're too kind! ❤️

[@CouzCat]

Made it to the end & loved every minute :). I always learn so much from your videos & enjoy them tremendously. My favourite is still the chickadee. I'm a birder & you really captured their character.

[@JennyColacicco]

Knocked it out of the park again! you make it look so effortless. So so pretty.

[@dawnwplus9]

Thanks Jenny! 💓

[@mesi238]

Wow! I just want to see your watercolor stamping again and again...

[@luvthisscrap]

Dawn - Listening to you teach, and watching you paint is absolutely mesmerizing! I am so loving just the *idea* of ever being able to watercolor as effortlessly as you!!!!!! I wonder if you would ever consider kinda traveling around and doing "appearances"and day classes??? Like specifically in southeast Michigan????? Pretty please!???? :)

[@adellenaylor]

I never notice the time when watching you watercolor. Beautiful card. Thank you for showing this technique :-)

[@dawnwplus9]

Thank you! ☺️

[@meganniergarth5209]

I love your watercolor videos... they're like watching magic happen! :)

[@dawnwplus9]

I don't know about magic...but thank you! ☺️

[@sfjortoft]

Love what you can do with these stamps! You should consider creating a matching backgound set as well, with elements for the fence, the bricks and the steps....

[@carolmelancon]

So lovely! Good point about why some of us enjoy making cards. I always learn so much and am greatly inspired from watching your videos.

[@dawnwplus9]

So glad to hear that, thanks so much for taking the time to comment!

[@Andrea-vh4ic]

you make it look so easy. I'm in awe of your talent 😍

[@rhojobaldwin]

so great....thanks! I've learned so much just watching your technique!

[@christygetscrafty]

Such a wonderful video, Dawn! I could watch you watercolor all day. Lovely card.

[@dawnwplus9]

You're so sweet Christy!

[@shelleyc5930]

You are so talented - I'm in awe watching your videos. Beautiful card!

[@tammyvid]

Dawn, your video's are never too long. I still wish you would create a class.

[@dawnwplus9]

I'm hoping to free up some time at some point. 😉

[@glyndaolive9434]

This is stunning - so beautiful! You're so talented. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@DonnaMSchmid]

Beautiful... Absolutely beautiful!

[@cherylynn927]

Thank you so much! This is an awesome demonstration of those stamps! You are a great artist!

[@katgodwin5062]

Amazing! Love this technique. BEAUTIFUL job !!!

[@DeeDigs]

WOW, This is just stunning. I love your work !!!!!!

[@mrstraci333]

You are very talented! Love watching you create!

[@SybilB]

Fantastic tutorial, thank you so much for all the tips. I agree with you about card making. I create them for the joy of the craft and I look at the card as a gift to the recipient.

[@CraftingMyWorld]

Oh my gosh, how beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing how you coloured the images - can't wait to try this myself!

[@patquinet1356]

Gorgeous card. You are so talented.

[@jackiebrown6577]

Learned so much from this video! Thanks! Great job!

[@BarbGhig]

Absolutely beautiful water coloring, Dawn! Thank you so much for sharing your process with us...I enjoy watching you, and learn so much!

[@dawnwplus9]

Thank you!!! 💞

[@CraftyKazzaH]

absolutely gorgeous creations!

[@ValShim]

Wow...that is amazing. Somehow, my attempts do not look anything like what you create. You are a genius with watercolours! Thank you for the video and instructions!

[@dawnwplus9]

I'm sure they are beautiful. But keep practicing, and it will get easier and easier. I'm still improving and learning something new each time.

[@stampinwiththeresa6209]

You make it look so easy! I just loved this video - thank you so much!! 🌼🌼🌼

[@emilycupely3201]

No indeed. It isn't cheap, fast or easy! Stunning card like always!!

[@covid-19inthistogether96]

Emily Cupely You can always start out small, a few markers ($10), with an affordable small stamp set ($5 at PTI), and some water color paper at Michael's using a half off coupon, so it can be affordable for everyone. Also, time can go by so fast when you are having fun. And I'd have to say, she breaks it down for you so well, it looks a whole lot easier than water coloring without stamps and water color markers!

[@emilycupely3201]

Craftin Kate I know it can be as cheap as you want. Buy two ink pads and the cheapest stamp set at joann.com with a 40% or 50% off and free shipping (because I don't have a Michael's at my country) and you are ready to make several cards. That is how I started and it was really fun for a while. But I'm talking about those who want to go all the way with card making, including myself because, of course, I am talking about my own experience since the stamps I like the most are not the cheapest ones. Also, when I say that it is time consuming I do not say it in a bad way. All I am saying is that it is time consuming because for me it is. Of course, even when it takes me a couple of hours to make a card, I enjoy every single second of it. Again, it depends on the person. You can make a card as fast and simple as you want but I am talking about my own experience. Finally, it probably is easier to watercolor with stamps than without them but I didn't say the opposite, all I say is that it is not as easy as it looks because I am not talking about how it looks, I am talking about how it resulted to me. Maybe you are an innate talent but for people like me some water coloring techniques that I have tried have resulted kinda hard, maybe not as hard as water coloring without stamps but still hard. When I agreed with her is because those are things that I have thought much before I heard them from her. Sorry if my comment offended you in any way, it wasn't my intention. It was just my opinion based on my experience.

[@belindafernandes5937]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@maiafelidae]

So beautiful, Dawn! I love all your floral stamps and I am stunned with the detail of these little flowers. Can't wait to put my hands on this set.

[@dawnwplus9]

Thank you so much!

[@renikartenwind9251]

Beautiful, as usual. I agree though: card making isn't any less time-consuming... I'm already excited for your next video - hopefully just as long ;D

[@ruudluuksem]

Oh really, this is just gorgeous. You make me want to try this as well. I have the stamps, i have the distress markers and i have your video to learn. Thank you Dawn.

[@craftqueen417]

Eeeeee!! (Happy Sound) I was so hoping for a tutorial on this, when I saw the little snippet on FB. I'm really going to be kicking myself for not getting this set. Can't wait until my Fresh Cut Florals come in. ;D Thanks Again, Dawn! Your water colors are stunning.

[@newpsidy]

Beautiful card, and yes, I agree with you about the reason to make cards as I enjoy creating them. Hope to try some watercolor soon!

[@KonaSitkaRose]

I am really in love with your technique and outcome!!! Wow, I need to use my distress markers!!! Many thanks ♥

[@JulieBarneson]

So beautiful & helpful!

[@25Prague]

Great tutorial, Dawn and your results are just lovely!!

[@covid-19inthistogether96]

You are the most talented water color artist on the web for card making! I was going to get those Altenew floral stamp sets but I am soooooooooo happy I didn't now that I've seen this video. I love the way these sets let you make a "scene" - just gorgeous! This is def-def-definitely going to be next on my list to buy (if this vid doesn't cause them to sell out :-) then I'll wait till they come back in stock!)

[@dawnwplus9]

Oh, I LOOVE those roses too though. Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@LisCKna]

I just ordered the pretty peonies set and cannot wait to get water coloring. I love watching your videos, such a great tutorial. Thank you!

[@dawnwplus9]

Thank you!

[@scrapscrapthat]

Awesome!! TFS Dawn!! just awesome!!

[@barkleyfr1]

I ADORE your watercolor! Just a little reminder, Tim Holtz told me that if you can see the little black rim on your Distress Markers, then the cap is NOT securely in place and therefore NOT closed tight enough so that they don't dry out.

[@dawnwplus9]

Thank you for the tip! I usually check them all at the end, but forget sometimes. 😉

[@yasmingeorge5173]

I wish your stamps were more readily available in the UK 😭 Your card is beautiful.

[@tamathamavraides5532]

That was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@melreally]

you are so talented!

[@sarahthompson9950]

Hey Dawn! I ordered my first stamp set from you (Pretty Peonies) and I am *so* excited to get them in the mail!

[@nanettereneroberts1702]

I just love your work! Thank you for sharing this! :)

[@chrissblagrave7057]

Awesome video Dawn. You are so talented and so kind to share!

[@dawnwplus9]

Awe, thank you! I enjoy sharing and hope you give it a try! 💓

[@roxyfur]

these tutorials are so inspiring! I'm going to try this with my new Thoughtful stamp set... and will have to get this set next!!

[@dawnwplus9]

I hope you do try it, but be warned, it's too much fun! 😀

[@dakrela]

Beautiful card! I love Distress too :)

[@vickibrooks5008]

Really so beautiful. You make it look easy (although, I'm sure it's not as easy as you make it look). Can't wait to try this technique of watercoloring. Love watching you work!!!

[@dawnwplus9]

Thank you Vicki!

[@IreneMendes]

Absolutely amazing ❤️ thank you so much for sharing.

[@DotJFreel]

This was so fun! I love your talent and wish I could water color just like you. Love the tree at the end. Perfect card and so beautiful. Whoever gets it should keep it forever.

[@dawnwplus9]

[@lorenescreativecorner]

stunning card!

[@ulrikaekholmscrapskoj9507]

Beautiful thanks for the ide, love it.

[@lindad1195]

beautiful card!

[@gloriacharter839]

I really wish you had not speeded up the second part Dawn. I really want to copy that one, I have watched it over and over but just cannot get it right. I love all your tutorials xx

[@maryamamini1734]

I loved it thank you Dawn, beautiful :)

[@UlinaC]

I love your videos!

[@Mirianjak]

Maravilhoso!! Parabéns!

[@ChristinMyhre]

wow,, this is so gorgeous. thank you for lots of inspiration and tips...

[@dawnwplus9]

You're welcome and thank you!

[@inkyfairydesigns]

stunning - wishing I had never sold my DI markers!!!

[@dawnwplus9]

Oh no! But if you still have your DI pads, those can work as well. You'll just need to "paint" in the details if you want to add more depth.

[@granny-kg2qp]

Fairly new subscriber here and am learning so much from you, thanks. Between you and 'the frugal crafter' i am actually believing that i can watercolor!Do you know when you'll be getting some more of the more popular stamp sets in? You are so popular and I've checked out everyone on line, that sells your stamps and everyone is out of about the top 6 or 7 that I would like. Thanks in advance!

[@LilStampBug]

Stunning! TYVM for sharing your artwork and techniques with us! And could you please tell us where we can find those stamp mounts??? Really like them. *hugs*

[@dawnwplus9]

They came in a set of blocks from Michaels, Recollections brand I believe. 😀

[@LilStampBug]

TYVM *hugs*

[@TheKserwin]

I love to watercolor but have ever even thought about using stamps (duh). I just received the New Day bird today...guess what I'm going to be doing...

[@Conilong]

Gob-smacked....just gob-smacked.

[@funeralised]

have these stamps been discontinued? as link does not work

[@peggiescraftcafe7117]

Where are the acrylic blocks from? The ones in the video are not listed. Thank you. Marguerite

[@covid-19inthistogether96]

PeggiesCraftCafe I don't know where the square ones come from but "Apple Pie Memories" makes something very similar in round shapes with the grid lines and the ergonomic scallop edges to make it easier to grip them in your hand while stamping.

[@peggiescraftcafe7117]

Craftin Kate Thanks for the info. Marguerite

[@dawnwplus9]

These are a cheapie set from Michaels, came with 4 or 5 in the pack. Recollections brand I think.

[@peggiescraftcafe7117]

Wplus9 Design Thank you! And by the way LOVE the card. It's beautiful. Marguerite

[@kristenk1995]

*muttering to self* I do not need Distress Markers. I do not need Distress Markers. I do not need Distress Markers. I do not need Distress Markers... *goes off to internet search Distress Markers...*

[@LilStampBug]

Lol.

[@covid-19inthistogether96]

Kristen K If it makes you feel any better, I bought the whole dang set when they first came out but never had the confidence to use them till I saw this video :-)

[@kristenk1995]

lol well I went and filled in my mini ink pads instead and will just have to try with my watercolor brush.

[@dawnwplus9]

The pads will work too. I use them for the colors I don't have markers for. But I almost always stamp off first because the ink pads seem to be more intense. 😉

[@TheKserwin]

Kristen K Hey! Get out of my head! lol
