Lilacs video tutorial

I am excited to share not only these pretty new stamps today but a video tutorial as well! I know, it is hard to believe.
I created this card using a technique I love to use with brushstroke stamps: watercolour with distress stains. I generally use the dauber topped distress stains but as they are being discontinued I thought I would try applying stain with a paint brush. It adds another step in application but the end result is just as pretty.
I filmed this video and a couple more with my son’s new camera which I am still getting used to so there are some focusing issues where the camera chooses to focus on my hand instead of the panel. I didn’t think it was enough of a problem to start again so I hope it isn’t too annoying. You get to see me drop my paintbrush with stain on it in the middle of the panel and come up with a quick fix too. I hope you enjoy the video and get to do some creating of your own.
Thanks for dropping by.

Beautiful card! Thank you for the video.
Really enjoyed your video.
What a beautiful card!
I was not sure I needed this stamp until this video😉 I never pass by a lilac bush and not smell the blossoms. I have been known to stop a car to take a whiff. Now I just have to find one! Awesome💜💜💜
Lilac is beautiful in May and June, a real burst of Summer to come Heather. I love the loose look and such pretty colours too, and the sentiment finishes it perfectly. Thank you for the video. x

Thank you, Heather! I just love the depth and yet watercolory look you created. Glad to find this video and now I would like to try 🙂
I have seen so many of your cards on Pinterest, etc. & think “wow!” over each one of them. So much talent in you! I am so very grateful you’ve made a video of this card. I learn visually so much easier than just reading about a process, & you have a very soothing voice.
