P.S. I really enjoy your colored pencil playlist! I would love to see you do a colored pencil tutorial on your live Friday show and I think others would enjoy it too because it's something you haven't done for it. (sorry-I would leave this on your blog but I cannot remember my password). Thank you Lindsay! I really appreciate you and your generosity! See you next time!
I started using the brushes a while back after watching one of your videos. I love the way the ink just kisses the paper when using the brushes. This is a lovely card - totally enchanting!
Beautiful Lindsay!! Ahh...looks like summer! :) When we had chickens, they would sneak up on the porch and roost in my flower pots with the cats! We also had ducks and one of the cats would lay on the ground and let our ducks "groom" her! lol!
I use mylar for masks, only because my mum works for a company that make it and acetate sheets, you can also cut them with a cricut which is great. You can do all sorts of shapes that way. Living in the uk it's harder to get some supplies, but I managed to get a set of peg stamps from Amazon for a reasonable price, but they are still quite expensive. Take care Lyndsay. Wishing you a very merry Christmas. Thanks for all your wonderful videos. X
thanks! It is such a fun technique! I also want to get some wide post it or eclipse tape for different masking but I can't justify the price so typing paper for me LOL!
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich Oh same - post-It tape is crazy! Have you tried those "sticky all over" post-it notes? They are great for masking, but I mostly use paper or I tape post-it notes together...!
I like the super sticky full adhesive notes for masking. I got a large pack cheaply at Amazon, and while the colors are not really to my taste, they work great, and I can reuse them. I store my stamps in heavy duty page protectors and stick the masks to the outside. Something I have used for larger masks is printer paper with a repositionable adhesive spray. It doesn't stay sticky forever, but you can just spray it again if you wish to reuse the mask.
hi Lindsay been a while since I have watched a show, brilliant as ever. regards to the family and happy holidays for next week. bought a 40 inch TV with the ability to watch you tube so will be going over some previous shows to watch larger episodes. regards as always Paul from London
I just recently found some goatshair brushes very similar to the Color dusters but in mini size at a German Christmas market. They are perfect for mini stamp pads and smaller areas on cards plus they were only 2€ a piece! I am definitive try them out with this tutorial
go check out the sale sets, it is a great way to start a collection:) The sets with the containers are only $12:) That reminds me, I need to link the unmounted stamps I used, yikes!
I have 3 sets of tapestry peg stamps and they're great! I seem to have missed a great sale but when they have one again that's 40% off!!! (that I am aware of) I intend to get some more! Thanks for the video Lindsay I am checking out your vids for techniques and think you are wonderful! Thanks again.
Ty for letting us know about the sale! I've been wanting some leg stamps for so long and finally ordered 3 sets, including the hello from holland set even though it wasn't on sale cause that bike and window box is just so cute!!! :)
I thought I saw a video where you made home made embossing powder, I would like to see it again but am unable to find it. Do you remember the name of that video. I keep looking for it. Thank you for all your good and helpful videos.
I have some Derwent Coloursoft (6 pack I got for 3 quid) - how do they really compare in practice to the harder pencils like Marco Raffiné or professional brands? I'm not a big pencil user so I'm not too au fait with soft vs hard coloured pencils and which jobs each goes with and doesn't go with - do you have a video about that at all?
PS: fell asleep watching your gingerbread house video last night on my phone. Woke up 5h later with your videos playing solidly for all that time and of course not skipping any ads etc etc - hope that boosts your stats ;)
I have a colored pencil playlist here: ruclips.net/p/PLNxvOHHWCjFipd-MzHo2dc4hJEGkpwPHH And to tell you the truth the Coloursoft might be my favorite. I bought the 72 tin a few months ago but the 24 set is more convenient to grab for stamping so that it what I usually use. It is a matter of personal preference. I like prismacolors, or rather, vintage USA made prismacolors because of the soft opaque lead but they breakage is so annoying. The coloursoft are as soft and opaque, a bit less creamy but I have never had the leads break in the barrel. My friend Lisa at Lachari Fine art is the colored pencil queen and she prefers polychromos and does very realistic work over long amounts of fine. I work fast and loose so I prefer Coloursoft (a brand she dislikes because you can't put tons of layers) becasue I can lay it down thick and quick. I have not used Raffine. There are many great brands and they are alla bit different, like watercolors, you will find a pencil that suits your working style.
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich I think softer ones would probably suit me also. Raffiné are a Chinese or Korean brand (review on my channel some months ago) as I got some for £9 on Prime Day on Amazon, usually selling for £25 for the 96 set. Nice range of colours, they draw and Gamsol really well and all the similar-looking greens for example are actually different and distinct but they are very hard (they make a lethal point!) which i found a bit harder to colour as I like lots of colour very quickly rather than building up dozens of layers. If you see them for < $15 i would recommend getting them to review and give away if nothing else as you're far more au fait with coloured pencils and could do a valuable review comparing to other brands. I know they are becoming very popular in the USA as a brand and get good feedback and reviews on Amazon - popular with colouring books and so on I guess, mostly, but they are actually nice quality and come in a Kraft pulp board tube with foam padding to stop them breaking.
Lindsay , I have been checking back with Judikins about the dabber brushes .. always says outa stock no available date .. can you let me know of another supplier
Ok.. Thank you! I will be putting my order in soon! I love their stamps and WOW!!! What a great deal they have going on right now! Hugs & Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!
ADORABLE....loved the stories about your chickens...my granddad had a farm....brought back some old memories☺
I love this a lot, going in for stamps. Can't live without these. Thank you
Very pretty Lindsay! Love colored pencils! Love stamp school! Always fun! Thanks for sharing this!

I liked the bicycle scene with out the border even better. You did an amazing job on the scene.

It's amazing to watch you. You make it look so effortless! The card is beautiful and reminds me of my childhood!
Always love watching you use the RST stamps. Turned out cute. TFS Lindsay
Beautiful, Lindsey! Love your projects and instructions! Ty!
This is just beautiful, Lindsay. Great ideas!!! Thank You.
Beautiful card, love the scene especially with the chicks! TFS
thanks Anita!
There's a lot of depth and vibrancy for a one layer card!
What great fun, a terrific video. I am going back for more of the sale, love the critters.
What a wonderful picture. This would be nice as a watercolor. Can you do a video like that?
Great look, can't wait to try it. Thank You
That ink brush reminds me of the brush my grandpa used to put cream on his face for shaving.
it is the same thing
lovely card lindsay, very pretty.

Love this card!
Lindsay, Terrific job with those peg stamps. Best video you've done with them! Loved it. Merry Christmas! Sandy
thanks so much Sandy! Merry Christmas to you too!
Love the perspective on those hills, so simple to achieve but looks lovely.
thanks! It is such a fun technique! I also want to get some wide post it or eclipse tape for different masking but I can't justify the price so typing paper for me LOL!

But the color dusters on their site were out of stock of course lol. We all want them since you use them!!
They are very handy!
MERRY CHRISTMAS- love the card that you made its was amazing.
Can you paint more pictures like snow? Or mountains and animals?
The blending brushes were sold out but found some Tonic ink blending brushes and a set of Clarity Stencil brushes on Hallmark Scrapbook.com 😆 .
Lovely stamps and card ,Lindsay ,Hope to buy some peg stamps next year?? Pity i am not in the USA no specials will be on then.
lindo 💖
love your videos, I bought some of those brushes from them but when I used them, they shed really bad on my ink....😑
mixed media question! would a metallic ink pad or liquid ink sit on top of watercolors opaquely for accents?
I thought I saw a video where you made home made embossing powder, I would like to see it again but am unable to find it. Do you remember the name of that video. I keep looking for it. Thank you for all your good and helpful videos.
I have a DIY embossingpaste using latex window and door caulk, not powder tho

Lindsay , I have been checking back with Judikins about the dabber brushes .. always says outa stock no available date .. can you let me know of another supplier

Is there a code we need to get the free mistletoe stamp? How do we get that?
+Southern Angels Btq. (Tammy) all orders will get them;)
Ok.. Thank you! I will be putting my order in soon! I love their stamps and WOW!!! What a great deal they have going on right now! Hugs & Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!
That company (Rubner Stamp Tapestry) that made the peg stamps is no longer in business. It's a shame.
It is:( they were nice people too!
