Today’s share is another sample featuring the warm, rustic suite, Nature’s Harvest. I just love the cornflowers images in this suite, perfect for using your Watercolor Pencils.
In this sample, I didn’t stamp on paper, but rather on the new Linen Paper, which really is linen. I though a water-based ink would bleed, so instead I’ve stamped with the Saddle Brown Staz-On ink. This gives a softer outline than Jet Black Staz-On.
I colored in the flowers with the Watercolor Pencils, and used a fairly dry Water Painter to move the color a bit. I love the imperfect, watercolored look here!
A must-have tool in your crafting kit is a fine spritzer bottle. I filled mine with isopropyl alcohol and a few drops of Soft Suede ink. Then I used it to spritz the background of the Linen Paper to give it sort of a tea-stained look.
Next I used it quite heavily on the Diamond Weave ribbon. It was a bit insipid in this project in its original vanilla, but the beauty of light ribbons is you can dye them quite easily!

Thanks so much for stopping by my stamping studio today! ~ Jacque Williams
I love them all, Jaque! Thanks so much for the great tutorial. I will be trying these techniques soon. Am so sad that I missed out on the Bedazzled papers!
Thank you! 🙂 🙂
Thank you, Patt! It’s always best to get them for free, but you can probably find the Be Dazzled papers for sale somewhere. If you are in NZ, let me know. x
