Hello friends! Today I bring you a video on how you can make your own colored cardstock in fabulous, true-to-you, colors using a new product – Intense Liquid Colors by Bibi Cameron and Contact Crafts. Bibi is a dear friend of mine and I’m thrilled to see her come out with a fabulous range of watercolor products for crafters. Bibi was kind enough to send me all of the new products and I couldn’t wait to get my hands inky and wet!
The Intense Liquid Colors can be used for many different things, including watercolor (think coloring beautiful stamped/betterpress images), but I wanted to try these to make custom-colored cardstock for die cuts.

CARD DETAILS
I used the Spellbinders Club Blooms dies to create bold flowers (you can use any large floral dies you have in your stash if you don’t have the Club Blooms) and make simple Birthday cards. I have one card done on brushed black and one done on brushed white background.
Here’s the one done on white:
I applied Bibi’s Liquid colors to Spellbinders BetterPress paper (but you can use any watercolor paper for this) to create custom-colored cardstock. I experimented and mixed various colors to create my own unique blends and shades – the blue-green was my favorite!
And some close-up images:
You can show the Intense Liquid Colors at various online shops. Enjoy!
