Hello Everyone!
Today I am sharing how I color:
-Tim Holtz Paper Dolls
-Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Booth
-Tim Holtz Portraits
These are so fun to use in your projects and since folks over on IG ask me frequently how I color mine, I wanted to share my process with you all! There are two parts to this tutorial! I'll share part two later! In the meantime, I hope you will play a bit with these! Let me know what questions you have and if this video was helpful to you, please like the video, subscribe, and share it with a friend or two! Thank you!

I love this technique! It adds so much to these paper dolls.

[@Morningglory7513]

Your tutorial is so helpful, I have never seen the technique before with the paper dolls. The markers you are using achieve a nice Watercolor effect. You do have good skills, and your voice is easy listening. Thank you for sharing.

[@TrueLoveX1027]

[@29velma]

Thank you for this!! I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who struggles with coloring paper dolls. They just never come out right. No matter what I try :( so I will go back and try out these techniques! Thanks again!

[@juicychristians]

Hope they work for you!

[@christinehirakis981]

Beautiful!❤😊😊

[@jennifermott5651]

Really cool! I have never seen those pencils before. And, I liked the music.

[@007kevhill]

AHHHH clear gesso is the magic that helps the colors take hold

[@juicychristians]

It’s amazing! In this instance.

[@michelel3372]

[@juicychristians]

Awww thank you so much!

[@TammyTiman-gx8cp]

This color technique reminds me of our baby pictures growing up. The photographer would color in our cheeks and her dresses due to the photos being black and white. 😊

[@user-yn1pv1jv5t]

Love this!

[@sandis6177]

Enjoyed watching you create. Thank you for sharing!

[@juicychristians]

Thanks for watching!

[@Phllpsmary]

I use clear gesso too. I use 3 coats of Finnabair’s clear gesso. It works great and makes it so much easier to take color. I’ve been doing it for about 2 yrs. 🥰

[@juicychristians]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Phllpsmary]

I really loved this video. I love the gel pen over the color. Looks like the shimmer highlights in velvet. I gotta get those gel pens! Thankyou so much!! 😊❤

[@juicychristians]

❤️❤️❤️

[@nicolecalhoun7670]

I needed this a few weeks ago! I tried pastel acryclics, turned out ok. Will definitely be trying ur method! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@juicychristians]

You’re welcome 😊

[@hazelyoung2046]

I've never heard of the Stabilo Woody pencils. Learn something new every day. Thanks for sharing them. SO many awesome ideas here...thanks for sharing your talent. I'm a subscriber now.

[@juicychristians]

✨✨✨Thank you for watching!❤️❤️

[@juliao1255]

Thank you for showing this. I have Woodies, I have T.H. Paper Dolls. Now I'm gonna have me some fun!

[@juicychristians]

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@vel0811]

I've never thought of coloring paper dolls but what a cool idea! I might try with some alcohol markers. Thanks for sharing!

[@juicychristians]

Oh that’s a good idea! Let us know how it turns out.

[@ochervelvet9687]

I don’t think you’ll be able to wipe off excess color using alcohol markers, in the way the author does with her erasable water-soluble markers. The alcohol dries very quickly and is permanent. Maybe experiment on some that aren’t your favorites.

[@vel0811]

@ochervelvet9687 that's a really good point. I appreciate you mentioning that!

[@lorlor2831]

This was very fun to watch. Thank you

[@juicychristians]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@craftadventureswithsusanto808]

Great video, so nice to meet you!

[@juicychristians]

👋🏾

[@Jeannes1234]

Thanks for this video! I wouldn’t have thought the color would show up on the dark clothes, but it does. They look like the old fashion tinted photographs from long ago.

[@juicychristians]

You are so welcome!

[@mijotwentyseven3935]

Great tutorial!! I love how each of them turned out. Can't wait to try this out!

[@stormy2962]

Thank you for posting this. I love your ideas.

[@risamateo8003]

Love my woodies. Thank you for sharing this, they look fantastic. I have a hard time with tinting using distress crayons

[@Papermadepretty143]

I love this! I just bought some Woodies and what a wonderful way to use them. tyfs

[@juicychristians]

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@franciemontgomery2935]

Thank you so much! I have woodys and I very rarely use them - until now! 😂❤

[@colleenmc8450]

I was so happy to see a video from you on my feed today! I subscribed immediately! I really enjoyed your video. The portraits that you did on instagram are some of my favorite projects! Thank you for sharing your talents with us!

[@juicychristians]

Thank you so much! That is so kind to say! ❤️❤️❤️

[@3723tina]

Thank you so much for this!! Super helpful. Just left a comment on an old video; this answered my questions 😊❤

[@juicychristians]

Welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@myvagabondstyle]

I enjoyed this very much. Can wait to try it. Thanks for sharing ❤ Debbie

[@juicychristians]

You are so welcome, Debbie.

[@SweetLeighMadeScrapbooking]

Thank you for sharing!! I have such trouble coloring paper dolls. I find I’m getting better with more practice. I’ll have to try these pencils!!

[@juicychristians]

Hope you enjoy them!

[@Msicu1221]

Very nice

[@juicychristians]

Thanks!

[@robinalcorn5140]

Totally awesome demo. With color the dolls are a lot more versatile. I'm thinking that with the clear gesso one could modify the color of all kinds of ephemera, even vintage items and magazine images. Sweet! Can't wait for part 2.

[@juicychristians]

Thank you! Will try to post soon!

[@suerussell497]

They look really cute. Thank you for sharing your techniques.

[@Pattiemarie3]

Wow learned something totally new for me!! Thanks so much 😊. I am new to junk journaling and never dreamed of coloring the paper dolls oh yes I kept wondering where the paper dolls were lol. Didn’t dawn on me that they were the little black and white peoples we use.. thank you again😀

[@juicychristians]

😂😂😂 yeppers! Glad you learned something new!

[@kathyzorn9186]

Natifa, thank you so much for this!! I have trouble wirh the frosted crystals and the crayons I cant get to work at all on these🙄🙄. Gonna have to get those Woody Pencils for sure! Love your work and everything you share with us❤

[@juicychristians]

You are so welcome! Glad it helped!

[@novallasuter5265]

I wanted do this, but had no idea what to use. Thank you!

[@diannewalker170]

Excellent updated video. I remember the original. Love these! I may have missed it. Do you seal these with anything to prevent smudging? ❤

[@juicychristians]

Nope! I tend to not seal anything. 😬

[@regi5495]

Great useful video. Just some feedback though…I hated the music overlay. It was distracting.

[@carriek6999]

I’d have to agree. Really liked the content, but I hate music while people are talking. Very hard to hear and concentrate.

[@peacewithme547]

I'm old and find my hearing isn't as good as it could be. Too much background. Love the content. ❤

[@Taitcreates639]

Loved the technique, have the Woody pencils, never used them on a photo. Great job

[@juicychristians]

Thank you!

[@ochervelvet9687]

How odd. I found the music soothing and quietly in the background during the narration.

[@vivsmith6900]

Very good video don't need the music as it is very distracting sorry

[@juicychristians]

Thanks for your feedback!

[@debbyturner3035]

#Replay i’m watching you for the first time, and I absolutely love your videos. I’m an elderly lady with hearing problems, so I always let creators know, that the background music makes it very difficult to hear your voice. I know many people enjoy it, but could you possiblyturn it down a bit so I can hear you better? I’m so happy that I discovered your videos though.

[@MsLouisVee]

But won’t they rub off? Do you use anything to coat after you’re done?

[@ds6114]

On the first sample with crayons markers. Did you prep dolls with Gesso or not ? Thx

[@juicychristians]

Hi there! I did not.

[@joyann6914]

I'm a little confused. When you used the markers in the beginning did you prep the boys with gesso?

[@juicychristians]

Nope! Only gesso for distress watercolor pencils.

[@ruthsonger2178]

Just a quick observation, the music really competed with your voice. I had to try hard to listen to you and not be distracted by the music. Please know your voice is pleasant enough that the music is unnecessary.

[@juicychristians]

Thank you for letting me know!

[@karenperkins4327]

No music

[@naomihall7339]

You did such a wonderful job, love your work. Thanks for a lovely video.

[@juicychristians]

Thank you so much!
