Hey there!! Here are 2 cards I worked on, using 2 different color techniques. One was used with Gamsol, the other Water Coloring. Can you tell which is which? They both turned out so pretty - I stamped more images to create more cards. Anyways, I bought this big container of Gamsol at Home Depot about a month ago. When I first used it with my blending stump - I wasn't getting the results that I wanted to. So I resorted back to watercolor pencils. For Watercolor pencils, I use an aqua paint brush to blend the colors. While I was doing this one my watercolor card yesterday - I thought...."hmmmm.... what if I put the Gamsol in an aqua paint brush too?". Well - as you can see.... it worked great for me this 
time around. So, now I'm using an aqua paint brush for my gamsol creations - how cool eh?! I was worried at first, thinking that the gamsol solution might eat through the plastic - but so far so good. I just labeled my aqua paint brush to make sure that I know that its Gamsol in there, and not just water.Card Deets:
Stamps: Whipper Snapper; SU!
Paper & CS: TAC
Ribbon: SU!
Techniques: Gamsol & Watercoloring
Tomorrow is SUNDAY!!!! You know what that means!!! I will FINALLY reveal what movie the song on my site is from.... you still have time... the hint that I gave was that it was a "2001 Oscar Award Winning Movie". I will also post another "Sham Battle Challenge" tomorrow - did you notice that I didn't have one this week?! Thought everyone needed a break. Plus with this "BIG" giveaway - I didn't want to confuse myself in sending out the wrong gifts to the winners.
I'll post tomorrow which card was used with gamsol, and which was used with watercoloring. So come on back now, ya hear?!?!
Have a great evening!!!
Hi Jen, I haven't a clue, since I have never used Gamasol! Guess I am still under the newbie rock! Opps! I will take a guess, the first card? They both are fantastic! Can't wait to find out which movie the music is from! Deb
ReplyDeletehmmm I think the first one is the one you use Gam. for? Am I right?
ReplyDeleteTo me looks like the second
ReplyDeleteI think to me Im to stick to to stump
I can control better I think
Okay Jen, I give what is gamsol? And you use it with your color pencils?
ReplyDeleteYour cards are Great!!!!

In my own work, I see a big
ReplyDeletedifference between the two. I can't tell with your pictures which one was used with watercolors vs. pencils.
I prefer the results of the color pencils with Gamsol but don't like to use them with larger images because it takes twice the time to color the image. Watercoloring is much easier and much faster to use.
Your cards look great regardless of which medium you used. Great job!

Aloha, Jen! You did a great job with the colouring on both cards!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Jen...I can't tell the difference either! Both cards look great.

Awesome cards Jen! I think the first card was made with Gamsol. Of course, I've never used it so I really don't know what I am talking about. They are beautiful either way!!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure which is which, but both are colored beautifully! Such a cute image too!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's interesting. Thanks for sharing.
