Even More Ways to use Distress Watercolor Pencils

[@kathynielsen518]

I have watched this video many times and learned and played. Today, I got a finished card that I really like, using things I had and all the Distress W/C pencils. You rock!

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thank you so very much!

[@ds6114]

I love your videos. I learn so much. I’m a Tim holtz junkie so this is my favorite channel. Thank you

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thanks so much! 🥰 I am glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@terrystill]

You are a good teacher! I should know, bc I taught for 30 years. You have a calming voice which beginners need and you carefully explain every technique with a reason why you chose it. Always expect a “why that way” if directions aren’t clear. I just received my first set of TH distressed WC pencils and, when playing with the paints last night, used the pencils as you do. I agree that I felt more in control. Thank you so much for the tutorial. I’m going to follow you!

[@JulianaMichaels]

That’s so kind of you to say and your comment really makes my heart happy! 😊 I’m glad you’re enjoying your new pencils!

[@jodieb4970]

I loved the centering tip with the ruler.

[@JulianaMichaels]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mariarosales7964]

Love this card. I learned a lot about layering and watercoloring. Thank you Juliana , you are so inspiring to me.

[@JulianaMichaels]

You are very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Hello from Spring TX

[@janetleespeed7330]

Another BIG fan of yours and your techniques, at 78 years old, but especially appreciative for your use of this butterfly die and detailed drawing with the permanent pen. I have been searching forever for an older Memory Box butterfly die Chloe #98352 to no avail. I was able to get the shadow layer, Tristan, and have been racking my brain for some way to duplicate Chloe, whether by making a stencil for use over Tristan, or some other technique, but your hand drawing, as time consuming as it may be, is an amazing alternative. Thank you for sharing your videos with your loyal followers.

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm especially happy that I inspired you with your project! I know it will turn out amazing and if you care to share it with me, I'd love to see it!

[@bonnerdebbie]

Thanks so much!

[@siobhanfyffe27]

Thank you Juliana for another great video. Your calm voice and the way you explain what you are doing make your tutorials so inspiring. I love your style. I live in Scotland so TH products are so much more expensive here! But they are worth it 😊

[@DT-us3kd]

I ADORE a smush ! Love it xx

[@JulianaMichaels]

Me too! Definitely one of my favorites techniques!

[@lindawithers1917]

Very pretty

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thank you! 😊

[@geriprior751]

So pretty. Thanks for the tutorial Juliana. Love your style and colour choices.

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thank you so very much!

[@donnam5891]

I'm also glad that Ranger & Tim have released the complete set of pencils as some of my favourites were not in the original release. Always looking for more ways to use them . Thanks❤

[@JulianaMichaels]

I totally agree! Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment.

[@DerekHaladay]

Hi Juliana ... just love how you make your projects ... used the new watercolor pencils (I have all 6) and "painted" a Noof card from Lavinia stamps with the set ... so much fun ... thanks for your inspirations.

[@JulianaMichaels]

Wonderful! They are so much fun! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@kathybost1879]

I love how you did that background. I had #1,2,3 and thought nope not getting any more. WEEELLLLLLLL - I caved and got the new 3 sets- I love these, now I need to decide if I'm going to store them all by color family- I think that might be easier. tfs.

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thanks so much! I too am thinking about storing them by color family as well. Right now they are in a large coffee mug! LOL

[@delo1951]

Love all of the techniques you did. So many possibilities with these techniques. Thank you for sharing your artistic talent!

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thank you so much for such kind words!

[@markandcindihoskins6925]

Juliana, I love your style!!! I wish I felt more confident to try this!!! ❤❤❤

[@JulianaMichaels]

Go for it! It's only paper and ink. You have nothing to lose!

[@ericastannard2635]

I love all your little tips, tricks & hints! Coming from a TH expert makes them extra useful! I didn’t mean for that to sound as if I didn’t care for your lovely butterfly. No, never that! I always love how you put the whole pic together with careful use of color! The little extra touches give it the depth & realism of an actual butterfly! So wonderful! Thank you for sharing your talents with us! Erica❤ I especially like the ruler tip, so simple, yet I doubt I would ever think of that myself!❤

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@franciemontgomery2935]

Beautiful card! I loved how you used sooo many techniques. The pencils are so versatile! 😍

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@kimwakeman2630]

Beautiful butterfly - you'd never know that it was stamped! Thanks for sharing.

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thanks so much, but the butterfly itself wasn't stamped. I share about drawing it in the video. ;)

[@donnanuce]

Wow! Such a gorgeous card! Thanks for sharing your techniques.😍

[@JulianaMichaels]

You are so welcome!

[@Sylvia.Torres]

Beautiful card! 🧡 I loved all your techniques and especially loved the hand drawn lines on the butterfly die cut. That was brilliant! 😃 Thank you Juliana!

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thank you so very much!

[@khcrowley]

Thank you for making another great tutorial vid. Love the colors.

[@JulianaMichaels]

You are so welcome!

[@carolinewood5888]

Thank you Juliana for another video which combines both creativity and practical advice. Using the pencils on the script stamp looks really great on top of the inked background. I'm glad Tim warned about the pencils staining stamps as I thought it was me being a clutz when I turned my Tiny Print stamp an interesting shade of purple the other day 😊

[@JulianaMichaels]

You are so welcome! And yes some of the colors do stain the stamps, but most of mine are stained anyway. LOL

[@1busybetty]

Have literally just stumbled upon you, by what has become a VERY happy accident while looking for something else....am now off to spend the evening watching as many of your videos while hubby is watching his snooker ❤

Juliana, this is beautiful! Course I do love butterflies and the colors you chose are perfect! I did not know that tip about using my ruler....that's a great idea. I always learn so much from the makers. TFS, Joan

[@JulianaMichaels]

You are so welcome! Thanks for such kind words!

[@kcinca5410]

I cannot tell you how often I reach for that Tim Holtz ruler. It's so helpful for centering. Thanks for showing the different ways you're using your pencils. I'm stuck on the shavings in the half pan as watercolors. I need to branch out. Beautiful final product.

[@JulianaMichaels]

It does come in quite handy! I haven't tried the shavings myself. Love that there are so many options for using them!

[@edithmars3449]

I love this fabulous card😍 so amazing how you drew and colored that gorgeous butterfly and that background looks so great 😎 thank you so much for these great tips and inspiration, Juliana❣️

Beautiful card. I love your backgrounds, am trying to get the hang of doing backgrounds at the moment but am not quite there yet.

[@JulianaMichaels]

Just keep playing and try to enjoy the process. I certainly didn't figure it out on the first go around. I actually created the background for this card about 5 times before I got to the one I ended up sharing here!

[@carolbeeding4270]

😍❤️

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thanks!

[@kelleyoneal2578]

I only have the scorched timber pencil. Ordering the 6 sets next week. Great techniques. Did your sweet dog supervise? 😂

[@JulianaMichaels]

Enjoy them once they arrive! She is always supervising. I just have to limit her access to the squeaky toys! 😂

[@kelleyoneal2578]

@@JulianaMichaels oh yes! My Goldens loved squeaky toys. The dog I have now is a beagle mix and has zero interest in toys. Just wants head scratches and belly rubs all day. She would howl if I tried to make videos and ignored her pleas for attention 24/7. Love your videos.

[@JulianaMichaels]

She loves her belly, rubs as well! Thanks so much!

[@amandacash2956]

Beautiful card!! What is the stamp positioned (not sure what to call it) did you use? I noticed it is not linked. The thing you used to hold the stamp and flip it on to the card that makes it easy to restart in same spot. 🤷‍♀️ I hope you understand what I am asking about. 😆

[@JulianaMichaels]

Hi! I am SO sorry for the delay in responding. I used the MISTI Stamping Platform ldli.co/e/kqjrd7m It is a tool that seriously changed my stamping game and I really don't do much stamping without it. Thanks for pointing out that I had left it off my supply list. I have now added it.

[@jimk8353]

Love your videos, you're so talented! Where did you get that white craft mat? I'd love something I can just spray water on and play with inks :)

[@JulianaMichaels]

Thank you for your kind words! That craft mat is in my supply list in the description box. It is my favorite for working with all things inky! It’s the Tonic Studios Tim Holtz Replacement Non-Stick Mat for the Glass Media Mat ldli.co/e/073qyol Hope that helps!

[@jimk8353]

@@JulianaMichaels Thank you so much! I don't need the glass mat to make use of that right?

[@JulianaMichaels]

@@jimk8353 Nope! I use it on top of my Scrapbook.com Self Healing Mat. You can use it on top of anything you like.
