Until May 31, products in the Flower Power section of the store will be 15% off instantly + with my STAMPGIRLMARIA code you can get yourself up to 35% off! There are so many to choose from. I chose a floral bouquet for a technique that I wanted to try.
I've used this floral bouquet stamp in a completely different way in this post and colored it with Zigs in this post too.
Distress Inks
The whole point of this technique is that it works great with a stamp positioner. First you ink a stamp with multiple colors (or make multiple passes inking only a portion of the stamp each time), spritz the stamp with water and then stamp onto damp watercolor paper. I did that. The colors bleed a bit which is the desired effect. Then when it's dried, you stamp again with black ink.
I pulled the panel out to dry it with my heat tool and apparently didn't line it up right when I put it back in my MISTI. The black outline is offset. It kinda looks like it's all blurry. Worse in the photo than IRL ;) Must give it another try.
Anyhoo, I added some watered down ink to some of the blooms and then splattered the panel too. I tore the edges and ran my paintbrush along them. I just love the sentiment.

Your flowers turned out beautifully! I love the colors and your sweet sentiment! As far as the black goes, I thought you intentionally off-set it a bit to give it the artistic look that it has going on.
ReplyDeleteLove the artistic way you colored the flowers and the ripped edges are so perfect !!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful background! And I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteOh- this is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteMaria, I love the ‘blurry’ effect of this card. And I too love this sentiment. No need to re-do the card is great just the way it is!
ReplyDeletethe offset stamping looks like it was done on purpose...love the energy it gives!
