Doodling with Debby: Watercolored Leaf Background
Hi friends! Happy Sunday! Thanks for stopping by today! Please welcome the always amazing Debby Hughes to the blog in her monthly Doodling with Debby series for a special holiday card! Be sure to watch the video and enjoy!
Hi, this is Debby and for my Doodling With Debby feature this month I’m using a small leaf image from the One With Nature set to create a watercoloured background pattern.
On Arches Hot Pressed watercolour card I repeatedly stamped the small leaf from the One With Nature set in clear embossing ink, sprinkled with Antique Gold embossing powder and heat set.
With the pattern now complete, I attached the watercolour card to a board and using Daniel Smith watercolours I painted over each leaf using a palette of green, red, pale pink and pale aqua. The watercolours I used were:
- Green – Undersea Green mixed with Ultramarine Blue to give a beautiful Hunters Green
- Red – Pyrrol Scarlet combined with a little Undersea Green to mute the tone of the red slightly
- Pale Pink – dilute mix of Quinacridone Coral
- Pale Aqua – dilute mix of Ultramarine Turquoise
I dried the panel with a heat tool before I splattered Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine over the top and then set it aside to dry.
For the sentiment, I used the Stained Glass Greetings set and stamped the ‘Merry’ in clear embossing ink on Black card, sprinkled with White embossing powder and heat set. I used the matching die to die cut the sentiment. I also stamped, and white heat embossed a matching sentiment from the set on Lipstick Red card.
I added foam adhesive to the back of all of the elements and then attached them to a Neenah Desert Storm card base. As a finishing touch, I added a trio of Gold sequins held in place with Multi Medium Matte.
Thanks for joining me today and I will see you next time for Doodling With Debby!

Color Coordinates! Peachy Keen!
Hi everyone!! Happy Friday!! I’m here with a color coordinates that I’m calling Peachy Keen. It’s a combination that can be used year round and has more of a feminine touch to it. 
I’ve used the Brush Stroke Messages stamp set to create my stripes using only one stamp. These colors are great for repeat stamping because you don’t need to scrub the stamp between colors.
Once I had my color ink stripes, I stamped with a thinner stroke line for the gold embossing using Simon Clear ink.
I filmed a video of how this card came together which you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.
