Playing with water colour again! This time I used Distress inks to create a a floral background on watercolour paper. I wet the paper with a lot of water and stamped on it using stamps that had been inked with Distress inks. The first layer of stamping was very wet so the stamps created very vague images. When that layer dried some, I re-stamped everything again. This layer was more defined, and a third layer was even more defined. I love the look and the technique is fun to do.
I used a Cheery Lynn doily die to put a sentiment on, and I cut a butterfly with the Memory Box Kaleidoscope butterfly die which I glued on a piece of acetate. I coloured the back side of the butterfly with Sakura Glaze pens and sprinkled white glitter on while the ink was still wet.
I'm entering this in the Simon says Stamp-

ReplyDeleteShona tried to email you but don't see a link on your blog . You were asking about how to see my post larger . I have tried but can't seem to be able to change it . I think it's because I take my pictures with my ipad and then email them to myself . I've tried the options on blogger but it only makes the post image larger and that goes over into the sidebars. If you have any idea let me know .
