It’s Friday! Tomorrow is a big day for me: I get to present the stamp set I helped design to the Stampin’ Up! demonstrators here in New Zealand. Can’t wait!
In the meantime, I want to share with you today a card I taught at the recent Tauranga, Nelson, and Hamilton Christmas Extravaganzas, featuring the “stamping with water” technique:
Everyone loved the “unexpected” colour combination here, as well as the high contrast. Still festive, but something a bit different.
I was inspired to try this technique from Dena Rekow, and used her sample as a starting place for mine. I’m happy with how this turned out!
Steps to stamp with water:
- saturate your cardstock with ink, usually by sponging it on
- spritz your stamp with water
- Stamp firmly
- Let dry to get the full effect
I used the Tasteful Textures bundle to create this awesome window effect. These dies cut out a negative image, perfect for creating interesting layers or peek-a-boo elements. How I love layers and texture! And awesome colours!
