Video: Color Layering Moonlit Night

Hi friends! Lydia here with a video for you with the utterly lovely Color Layering Moonlit Night stamp set ! I just had to make it spooky - but the timeless sky imagery in this set is something that can be used all year for any theme.

I decided to use Unicorn Pigment Ink and Key Lime Fizz Reactive Inks to create a spooky, atmospheric backdrop for my beautiful little bats on top of a liquid watercolor rainbow circle with Strawberry , Orange , Dandelion , Leaf , Deep Ocean and Purple Liquid Watercolors .

I have a few tips for you in the video for how to get crisp images on cold press watercolor paper - I prefer cold press for its durability with techniques like the one I am doing today.

(If you are having trouble viewing this video, please try watching it HERE on YouTube .)

I hope you enjoyed that video - there are some beautiful samples with totally different looks with this set on our Instagram account - the sky image changes a LOT with your ink selections for light and dark layering - it really has so many possibilities. Think about the ink collection you have and try different combinations for the clouds - the possibilities are endless.

Thank you for being part of the Hero community and for stopping by today.
