Nice huh? I recently purchased this stamp set and I am loving it. I had seen other demonstrators do some amazingly beautiful things with this stamp set, particularly the watercolouring.
To make this card I stamped the image onto glossy white card stock using Whisper White stamp pad, then sprinkled the image with clear embossing powder and heated with the heat gun. I then gave it a generous spray of water, grabbed some Stampin’ up ink refills (I used Perfect Plum and So Saffron) and used my aquapainter to grab a little of each ink colour and dab onto the rose – the water will make it spread (use a lot of ink for a deeper colour). Put the colour wherever you want it, mix in as many colours as you like. If the ink doesn’t spread easily, wet your cardstock a bit more (you can also spray with water after adding the ink if need be. When you are happy with the colours, soak up any excess water with your aquapainter then leave your rose to dry – rest on an angle so the water runs off your card stock. It looks a little messy but you will cut around the flower when it dries (takes about 30 minutes).
When dry, cut around your rose and place on the card. I used Elegant Eggplant for my base card and cut out squares using Barely Banana and Elegant Eggplant. I also stamped a portion of the white rose onto both the elegant eggplant squares. Add some ribbon, mount your rose with Dimensionals and voila! All supplies can be ordered through me
There will be a class on this technique on Saturday 28 November, at 10.00am.
