A certain gentleman known as Mr Rabbit has absolutely stolen my heart and if you watched the YouTube Live launch of the latest stamp set and dies from Tim Holtz, Stampers Anonymous and Simon Says Stamp, you'll know why. What an adorable image, look at that sweet face and the detail is amazing. I made an Easter theme card with Mr Rabbit as the star of the show and used the rest of images to create texture and background accents.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYWeY3qon5mvAZ5W-6XGJM93UkAKANAcLTbAeVzoEYkzG6ZAMbqG_tLJrd-YOJ6q74_HqqiNF2H45se9hnJ2chqZU5aA4hTbdv5wia-dONwNvFpKhbRJrwnkdmJeo2vHrTUdmHoNb8Js-JaOFAOAXRMGyIpjoRvBHjhtxFumrgj5Kg50ZvzBLGRx7usEw/s2760/rabbit%20main.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2760" data-original-width="2751" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYWeY3qon5mvAZ5W-6XGJM93UkAKANAcLTbAeVzoEYkzG6ZAMbqG_tLJrd-YOJ6q74_HqqiNF2H45se9hnJ2chqZU5aA4hTbdv5wia-dONwNvFpKhbRJrwnkdmJeo2vHrTUdmHoNb8Js-JaOFAOAXRMGyIpjoRvBHjhtxFumrgj5Kg50ZvzBLGRx7usEw/w638-h640/rabbit%20main.JPG" width="638" /></a></div>I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to 5" x 7", inked the distressed plaid image from the Mr Rabbit stamp set with Distress Embossing Ink, sprinkled with Ranger Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.

I'm so excited that the Tim Holtz/Ranger Ink Distress Watercolor Pencil palette is now complete and we have 72 colours and Picket Fence in one of my favourite Distress Mediums. First task when they arrived in the cubbyhole was to make swatches and create another shavings palette for Sets 4, 5 and 6.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjBdw2RiwnBuym2e32Y9RpE-9EDE9u6G3riyNEkvYwZZUAQxqYpGtNzavIuYmUnlZU0fl6jA0amKQ0-AGQ92V-94CfxUU1bGL6r84HB1DMxILHY9MsQkLThJabTMkGYAdaybVo-UwRu8B-5qeIc-VbOY3GNh1CRzsN96OK-ng36egU_YVEIPFrZJzjoSw/s4060/swatches.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3035" data-original-width="4060" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjBdw2RiwnBuym2e32Y9RpE-9EDE9u6G3riyNEkvYwZZUAQxqYpGtNzavIuYmUnlZU0fl6jA0amKQ0-AGQ92V-94CfxUU1bGL6r84HB1DMxILHY9MsQkLThJabTMkGYAdaybVo-UwRu8B-5qeIc-VbOY3GNh1CRzsN96OK-ng36egU_YVEIPFrZJzjoSw/w640-h478/swatches.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDSeazrjS31LLXf65XAHRFT6IkeVfHzlQ9OkXQl9p8zUYxRMPujHcjFhw708TGbQBAOMlQIPiwCLiaoisZBkCaH14Ory3my9Yv63vLob7DjEb0kJF-wgOK6KRUCQsbXm61x9omTJBrxwv16m4o_RbCbsJZUmjO7aQ1sWPHxPBO_Omw0NRvQFr6rq2VMxA/s3660/palette.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3660" data-original-width="3649" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDSeazrjS31LLXf65XAHRFT6IkeVfHzlQ9OkXQl9p8zUYxRMPujHcjFhw708TGbQBAOMlQIPiwCLiaoisZBkCaH14Ory3my9Yv63vLob7DjEb0kJF-wgOK6KRUCQsbXm61x9omTJBrxwv16m4o_RbCbsJZUmjO7aQ1sWPHxPBO_Omw0NRvQFr6rq2VMxA/w638-h640/palette.JPG" width="638" /></a></div>Then it was playtime and I created 3 cards using only colours from each new set to colour images from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Floral Outlines and the Valentine stamp release, Love Notes. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihakIxdqhrqFp_7-c8HeP_tm8Y3bkaeLve3qp9vOeOU0pHbyi8kcpMwhVmir4n2h8W7OoLxM0wUw7zfBcpCYbLcax9NY39UCrXFcq0ZriUHukUwjqj2hA5oCE4F4MEGkH9oPc5GJj0AcfXqSe-vwb0XSny6hVq0_ZMxqOAJfCobMi4Ush0vd3YMeSvclk/s5120/Watercolor%20Pencils%20Collage%20Instagram.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihakIxdqhrqFp_7-c8HeP_tm8Y3bkaeLve3qp9vOeOU0pHbyi8kcpMwhVmir4n2h8W7OoLxM0wUw7zfBcpCYbLcax9NY39UCrXFcq0ZriUHukUwjqj2hA5oCE4F4MEGkH9oPc5GJj0AcfXqSe-vwb0XSny6hVq0_ZMxqOAJfCobMi4Ush0vd3YMeSvclk/w640-h640/Watercolor%20Pencils%20Collage%20Instagram.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to 4" x 5.1/4" and stamped the images from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Floral Outlines, inked with Black Soot Distress Archival, sprinkled with Ranger Superfine Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRIB6iuyqAe-SmFrdhxf4juBiB4A2miR3lyqbfZSmgC-Db6LPjR_Fuop09LQBg-QpMphNGPisDC7MvEWsw_V53XvY2LZlIDRa-47qQruBwKivbOY4o3pL2qjh47Fwq_2tLCAudZHIC0dCyy69n3ecdU45GGdb_MJ851ut8S4ZTFYutszbva-s1rxquWhc/s4022/step%201.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2967" data-original-width="4022" height="472" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRIB6iuyqAe-SmFrdhxf4juBiB4A2miR3lyqbfZSmgC-Db6LPjR_Fuop09LQBg-QpMphNGPisDC7MvEWsw_V53XvY2LZlIDRa-47qQruBwKivbOY4o3pL2qjh47Fwq_2tLCAudZHIC0dCyy69n3ecdU45GGdb_MJ851ut8S4ZTFYutszbva-s1rxquWhc/w640-h472/step%201.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>I scribbled the crayon on to the images and activated the pigment with a Detailer Water Brush to create shading and highlights. I dried the images and added more shading by picking up the colour from the point of the pencil with the Detailer Water Brush. I coloured all the images in the same way, in a loose style, pulling some of the colour out into the background and adding splatters by flicking the Detailer Water Brush against the point of the pencil. I'm not an expert at watercolouring but these amazing pencils make it easy to achieve a result you will be happy with and make you feel as if you know what you are doing.

Tim Holtz and Ranger recently released Scorched Timber and what a gorgeous dark charred brown it is too. After swatching and labelling the Scorched Timber bundle, I decided to have a play, mix it up with other colours and woohoo, I love how it sits so nicely with Wild Honey.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzfUlmZD0mnVB0m4bs0oXa7CELz2bkOoGrREy3xdfV4-RHxSmiVhII2bSIh_MuChj7HvQ3qmGjiVbDjK5Oyeh6QxXjH9y4RA2TPmQ7hWWsLCnPI6-0V6KHqtlEoxf9jukgu9MIEJsIVEOwA3n4rpEWYFJnuErTNVWT0IsOyZhQLSfRdwSUsa3-hYYGOzM/s2853/hello%20main.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2853" data-original-width="2851" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzfUlmZD0mnVB0m4bs0oXa7CELz2bkOoGrREy3xdfV4-RHxSmiVhII2bSIh_MuChj7HvQ3qmGjiVbDjK5Oyeh6QxXjH9y4RA2TPmQ7hWWsLCnPI6-0V6KHqtlEoxf9jukgu9MIEJsIVEOwA3n4rpEWYFJnuErTNVWT0IsOyZhQLSfRdwSUsa3-hYYGOzM/w640-h640/hello%20main.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to 4" x 5.1/4", smooshed Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink on to my Tim Holtz Media Mat, pulled the panel through the ink, dried and tapped back in to pick up the remaining droplets.
