Given that Papertrey Ink is my favorite stamp company, and I own more of their stamps than all the rest of my rather extensive collection combined, I thought I’d be participating in the Make It Monday challenges on a regular basis. But it hasn’t happened. I was intrigued, however, by Nicole’s video this week about using stamp pads to blend inks, and then adding water to make “water splats.”
I ended up really liking this process, and the final card, which will be in the mail for my niece who turns 21 next month. I used Orange Zest, Raspberry Fizz, and Summer Sunrise for the ink blending.
The Wet Paint stamp set works wonderfully with this technique. I mounted the final piece on a piece of gold cardstock, then on a Raspberry Fizz card. The star die cuts are new ones I picked up this month from Memory Box, and they’ll be getting a lot of use!
ETA: I’m entering this in the Moxie Fab “Hip on Handwriting” challenge.
This is lovely,Karen.
A gorgeous slightly different look for you – I like it 🙂
Yow, this is gorgeous, Karen! Love the colors and the gold accents! I’m still fiddling around with the inks. Having been a distress ink junkie, I’m finding hard to resist not trying, LOL.
gorgeous!
Aren’t creative back grounds fun? They can be used for so many different types of stamps and sentiments.
