Our next set of lessons for Online Card Classes involves some Watercolor Stamping, and this is actually one of my favorite techniques. I looked through my stamps and found that this set from Stampin' Up has a two step process which lends itself well to this technique. The set is called Field Flowers.
My first try was a bit of a train wreck, then I got out the Stamp-a-ma-jig and that help alot. You also have to get the right amount of water, kind of a trial and error method. So many things to consider: the inks you are using, the paper, the mister bottle of water!
I was having such a great time I made several cards in different color combinations. I can't list all the inks I used... I have such an eclectic variety of inks. But, here are the brands I used: Stampin' Up dye Ink, Ranger Distress Ink, Ranger Dye Ink and CTMH inks. Some of these are very old so I would advise you to use any dye ink you have!
These are all going into my Operation Write Home box-o-cards. Soon I should have enough to mail off at box to them.
