The Spot - #145 - Splish, Splash Challenge

 

 

 Welcome to The Spot #145 - Splish, Splash Challenge.
 Please join us in this FUN challenge as it allows you to get all inky
and have free range on your creativeness...

I chose to watercolour and spritz to create my backgrounds for my stamped images

I chose to use Fluid 100 Watercolour paper - 149612 - $15.00

 
and a variety of 3 Classic Stampin' Pads -
Bermuda Bay Classic Stampin' Pad - 147096 - $13

Coastal Cabana Classic Stampin' Pad - 147097 - $13

 

 Balmy Blue Classic Stampin' Pad - 147105 - $13

 
and
Stampin' spritzer - 126185 - $5

Now I was naughty and didn't take progress photos as I was
teaching and sharing this technique with a friend.

When I create watercolour backgrounds I use a piece of acetate.
I swipe the ink colours from lightest to darkest evenly across the piece of acetate
and then I spritz them with lots of water. Once they have lots of water on the ink colours
I simply place my piece of watercolour paper onto my piece of acetate and then turn it over
and smooth out the ink to the side of the paper.  Then I carefully lift the acetate from one side to the other not to make a big inky mess of my background. You will notice if you do not have enough water on your inked acetate that you will have lots of dry bubble spots on your watercolour paper.

Then once I have my watercoloured background I use the heat gun to dry it, this will cause it to curl BUT just keep flipping it over while you are drying it and it will flatten out mostly.

Now I am ready to start stamping...For this card I used the Stamp Set A Touch of Ink
which you can receive for FREE with any purchase of $180 worth of
Stampin' Up! supplies during Sale-a-Bration.

 

This stamp is Photopolymer set so you can see through it.
It is what we call a 2 step stamping set, which allows you to add a solid image to an outline image.
It gives you that artistic look to a stamped image, without having to paint anything LOL.
