Technique Tuesday - Watercolour Background using Glycerin

Join me for my next Technique Tuesday tutorial - today I show you two techniques to create a pretty background for your projects. First adding Glycerin to your watercolour pens to allow them to blend onto paper, then adding cling wrap with gold shimmer spray to create a beautiful marbling effect.
Thanks for watching,

[@vickislominski7618]

Beautiful! Thank you!

[@maureenday2337]

Fantastic idea. I have never purchased oxide inks because I didn't think I'd use them very often. However, I have got glycerine and pens, so I can't wait to give this a go. Thanks very much for your video.

Thanks so much for this - can’t wait to try glycerin with my pens now 🥰 Lovely card 😊

[@loisskiathitis8926]

Beautiful card! I love the colors chosen. I love the effect you get using the glycerin with the pens, nice effect! Thank you, Jan! 👏🏻❤️

[@craftysandyscards]

Hi Jan, I only found you this morning, love the idea of the glycerin with the oxide inks,great idea for making an easy wipe clean palette too, oh and using a tiny block to ‘tear’ of your double sided tape, so many useful ideas ☺️ thank you so much and I’ve subscribed too. Cling film here in Australia is mostly called Glad wrap (brand name) or if you buy the Aldi brand Cling wrap 🙄 so many names for it! Anyway thank you. Sandy 🌸

[@angelaharnett6437]

Gorgeous card x

[@annagray6491]

That is so pretty! Love it! Can I ask please, where did you get the little gold centres you have used in the flowers?

[@jaybecrafts]

Hi Anna, the flower centres are little gold flat back gems - I have tonnes of them, one of my many addictions! Lol x

[@njofei]

Jaybe this was so beautiful,❤ if you do not have watercolor pens, would this work with just plain watercolor tube paints?

[@jaybecrafts]

Not too sure about the viscosity of paints, but maybe if you watered them down a little first x

[@guylainedube5619]

Quel produit de glycérine avez-vous acheté pour mélanger les crayons aquarelle? Je n’ai jamais acheté de ce produit. Merci pour l’aide. Cette technique est nouvelle et unique!!! Merci du partage 🙏🏻

[@jaybecrafts]

Hi there, just plain glycerine from the pharmacy - it's usually situated near the cough syrups xx

[@guylainedube5619]

@@jaybecrafts Bonjour et merci beaucoup pour les infos précises. Ce que vous faites est magnifique!

[@pattyaustin9460]

What type of paper did you do the glycerin blending on?

[@donnaeiler3179]

Are those better than ohahu markers?

[@jaybecrafts]

I haven't tried that brand of marker, so couldn't really say x

[@ValreeJean]

I think Ohuhu markers are alcohol ink. They might work but they are definitely different than watercolors.
