Hello! Today I am so excited to take a first look at the new Tim Holtz Watercolor Pencils. I was so fortunate to receive the Set 2 of 12 pencils to try out, but there are actually 36 colors available.

I quickly swatched out the twelve colors below and they are gorgeous! I used Arches Cold Press Watercolor paper and a simple brush with water to blend out the colors. The start very pigmented and blend out seamless and smooth.

I wanted to create a simple, colorful card that showcased several of these colors so I simply drew stripes with the pencil and blended them out with a brush. I added an embossed sentiment from the XL Teacher Greetings stamp set.

Here is a video showing the swatching and card making.

These delicious new pencils are available now at Simon Says Stamp! All the links are below. Thanks so much for stopping by!
