I'm playing with one of the new release stamps from Penny Black. Just received this a couple of days ago and couldn't wait to play with it ... I just LOVE the image. I used markers to add the ink directly to my stamp, spritzed with a little water and stamped onto hot press watercolour paper. I repeated a couple more times until I was happy with the look. Stamped the sentiment in dark brown ink and splattered more of the same colour, along with green, over the front of my card to finish the design.

ReplyDeleteJust catching up on my commenting today and I am getting spoiled here on your blog, Loll! Gorgeous watercolour blend results with this marker/spritz technique.
