Shading Solid Stamped Images with Stampin' Up! Watercolor Pencils

[@stampinupwithbeth]

Coming from 14 years on the Technique Junkies Design Team, you'd think I knew all the tips and tricks, but not so. I learn a lot from you, Patty. Today's technique you shared with us is extraodinary. I'm going to use your technique this week. Your the bomb!

[@pattystamps]

So glad you enjoyed this fun technique! I had not thought of it before, either!!

[@tetemo1752]

I can't thank you enough for all you have taught me. From learning how to color to using all the different SU tools and to top it off sharing your organization ideas. I feel guilty that I didn't purchase my membership from you. Thank you.

[@pattystamps]

I'm glad you have enjoyed learning and that you enjoy my tips and ideas!

[@deanettelinville6010]

Watching replay! Cannot believe the difference it was when you used the colored pencils. You don't know how much all your tips help! That basket...oh my lands...love it! Thank you so much for teaching us how to use the SU tools!

[@pattystamps]

I'm thrilled you enjoyed it!! thanks for watching and commenting!!

[@vickiesweitzer8625]

Enjoying the replay! I’ve never seen this technique and never thought to try it. Thanks for bringing it to us!

[@patspath856]

Great technique. It was a wonderful video. I really liked the barrel.

[@pattystamps]

Thanks Pat!!

[@janissinko1312]

Excellent video!

[@pattystamps]

Thanks Janis!!

[@debbielindauer7679]

I am totally intrigued with this. Would love to see more videos using this. Would love an online class

[@pattystamps]

So glad you enjoyed it! I hope you are inspired by all the samples! I don't do any classes, but you might find one online from someone else.

Enjoyed this video !

[@pattystamps]

thank you Joy!

[@SDcatlover1]

This makes a huge difference…brings the image to life on the paper by making it appear dimensional 👍. Great job, Patty 👏. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your shading techniques 🙏

[@pattystamps]

thank you! glad you enjoyed it!

[@patriciagolub5492]

awesome

[@lindajarman4240]

I have been using the watercolor pencils for years, starting with the originals and adding the others later. I found with classes with seniors that watercolor pencils are easier for them to use.

[@pattystamps]

Oh that's an awesome tip!

[@sandykarlovich5844]

Hi Party, Sandy here on replay

[@disymes9038]

Hello watching on the replay. I love woodless watercolor pencils by Azteca. Use them all the time with great results. Thank you for your video and sharing your ideas and techniques. 😊😊

[@gailporterfield6773]

Watching the replay, thanks so much for going over this. Those beautiful detail add so much!

[@pattystamps]

thank you for watching Gail!!

[@BuffyLynn]

Hi Patty! I love the bottle set! And thanks for the interesting technique. You know I have a set of the first, original Stampin up watercolor pencils! LOL

[@judithsigler9644]

TOTALLY AWESOME, Patty!! Such fun! I was amazed that you didn’t need to use “anything else” I.e. water, GAMSOL, alcohol but JUST PENCILS!! So, so cool n’ EASY!!! ALL of the images just “come to life” so much more! So happy you shared the “only stamped image” compared to the one w/“added pencil work”!! :-))))) I just used my PENCILS w/EVERY CHAPTER! Looked really neat but NOW, I CAN SEE SOME GREAT ENHANCEMENT w/YOUR TECHNIQUES! YAY! (Thanks to MITOSU CRAFTS, too!) TFS, Patty n’ HAPPY CREATIN’! BTW, the two cards are so cute, too! Sending SMILES from Madison, WI! :-)))))

[@pattystamps]

thank you Judith!! I'm so happy you enjoyed this new way to add life to our stamped images!

[@margaretburkett9634]

I just love the dimension it gives stuff

[@13141516ldi]

Thanks for the tutorial. Great instructions.

[@pattystamps]

glad you enjoyed it! thanks for watching!

[@peggydickson7275]

Thank you Patty for sharing these techniques with the SU watercolor pencils. I don't do much with the blends and prefer the pencils.

[@pattystamps]

Hope you will enjoy using them this way!!

[@albertamariejameson8255]

I really enjoyed this video. I have both sets but have not used them.🥰

[@pattystamps]

I hope you will enjoy using them now!

[@sharonfangsrud4248]

Love this! Thank you for sharing! (And I don't think that's a handle! I'm with you!!!)

[@pattystamps]

Thanks, Sharon! :)

[@jennywilliams3115]

Thanks! Patty for showing us this technique and now I'll have to buy the basket bundle. Here in Australia we can buy the stumps in what you call dollar stores.

[@pattystamps]

Oh i didn't think to look at the dollar store.. great tip!!

[@shariewilson9858]

Watching the replay.. love all your cards Patty. Thanks so much for all your tips using the water color pencils.. I have the first set of pencils and the oldies from many years ago in the tin.. they don’t even have the name of the colors on them.. I will need to get the newer smaller set as well .. Have a great weekend Patty!

[@pattystamps]

Glad you enjoyed it!! I have those older ones without color names, too, but set them aside for this video :)

[@vickiesanders99]

Watching replay.. Love this techique. I think Jay & Barry are fabulous so are you. Thanks for sharing.

[@pattystamps]

Thank you Vickie!!

[@juliepoindexter7359]

Thanks for sharing the basket

[@pattystamps]

You are welcome!

[@RuthieB51]

OMG! Patty! This is wonderful!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

[@pattystamps]

Glad you enjoyed it Ruthie!

[@elizabethfreeman1312]

loved the ideas. I love new ideas for my penciles.

[@pattystamps]

Hope you will enjoy using them!!

[@conniecarbon9191]

Hello from Michigan

[@susanbarr4706]

Looks like an interesting technique. I don’t enjoy coloring (gasp!), but I am going to give this a try. Maybe my tips were too sharp. How do you recommend sharpening the pencils?

[@pattystamps]

You can try the sharpener I recommended in the video.

[@nancyripley2073]

Thank you for the wonderful ideas! I always learn so much from you!

[@pattystamps]

Thanks for watching Nancy!!

[@lesleyvonmetnitz6826]

I just looked it up and GAMSOL is a mineral spirit

[@pattystamps]

THanks, I'll have to look it up.. not sure what to do with it!

[@patspath856]

Beautiful I love art gallery. You did a great job.

[@margaretburkett9634]

This is amazing can’t wait to try this!! It really kicks it up a bit!!

[@margaretspencer7873]

Replay ~ was just going to ask how pointed your pencils are! Cannot wait to try this. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@pattystamps]

Glad I could help with that!

[@susanloring7641]

everything looks great

[@cherylalgie]

Great technique, Patty , thank you ! Just one question , why didn’t you use our blender pens to blend instead of the pencil stumps ?

[@pattystamps]

I wanted to keep it dry and not do a wet technique. You certainly can use the blender pens but you'll lose the brushstrokes and "dry" shaded look.

[@jobengtsen7599]

Replay….. now I have to get the basket die/ stamp set Cheerful Bundle

[@pattystamps]

Glad you liked it!!

[@margaretburkett9634]

Wow this is so cool! Your amazing

[@sandykarlovich5844]

The difference is a big Wow

[@pattystamps]

Yes, big difference!! :)

[@79ragbug]

Loved it! Patty, What color did you start out with for the beer? Was it stamped first & then enhanced with pencils?

[@kathymahon9609]

Hi Patty, Love this technique. I tried the old pencils Stampin up had but I didn't like the water affect it had. So this is a great alternative to using the water. What ink did you use to stamp the images? They don't look like Memento ink. Thank you for the tips, as usual.

[@pattystamps]

Sorry I thought i mentioned the ink for each one.. the jar is stamped in Tahitian Tide, you can see more on my blog today. The swim suits will be on my blog Monday. The beer mug outlines are stamped with Gray Granite or Basic Gray.

[@janissinko1312]

If you don't have a "stump", any other suggestions to use? And do the stump ever get sharpened?

[@pattystamps]

You could try a Qtip. I checked amazon.. it's about $5 for the set of stumps including the sharpener.

[@janissinko1312]

Thank you so much

[@margaretburkett9634]

Is there a color guide for that art gallery flower since it’s a two stamp I have been playing with it not sure of the colors

[@pattystamps]

I did a video for that set, you might find this helpful kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmjKfWeDh9ZneLs

[@cynthiaruck459]

Patty, did you stamp the bottle first with the ink pad before using the watercolor pencil?

[@pattystamps]

yes

[@vmain3075]

Hello, are what your calling the stumps able to go into a regular pencil sharpener? Thank you Patty

[@pattystamps]

I googled it and found a couple ways to sharpen them but it did not include a pencil sharpener.

[@karenofficer4219]

They make a small board with layers of sandpaper to sharpen the blending stump, aka tortillon.

[@pattystamps]

@@karenofficer4219 oh yes, I had that for my drafting pencils as well!!

[@cynthiaruck459]

♥️♥️♥️👍

[@vickiesanders99]

Can I get the swimsuit colors you used?

[@pattystamps]

Left to right: Flirty Flamingo, Polished Pink, Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide

[@vickiesanders99]

@@pattystamps thank you

[@lindajarman4240]

If you look at the shape of the bottle it is a highlight. If it was a handle, the shape of the bottle would be odd on that side.

[@pattystamps]

THanks, Linda!!

[@margaretburkett9634]

You didn’t show the swim suits?

[@pattystamps]

No, I didn't because when I asked what viewers wanted to see nobody said swimsuits.

[@kathyclark6837]

I believe it’s a highlight. Still don’t see a handle.

[@lindajarman4240]

Can you use blender pens instead of stumps?

[@pattystamps]

Yes, I mentioned that.. you can use a blender pen, wink of stella, water brush or the stumps.

[@patriciagolub5492]

THEIR ARENT ANY HANDLES ON VASES.

[@susanloring7641]

closest to beer color
