Stamped Watercolor

Here is an easy and fun technique that I played with over the weekend.

Stamp solid images randomly on watercolor paper using dye based inks. I used Distress inks.
Spritz with water and let the colors bleed. Depending on how much you spritz determines how much the images bleed.
Let dry.

Great idea to make a whole background using this technique!  As I said in the gallery, I have used this before, but not for a whole background.

howdyheidi:
Did you let yours air dry or use a heat gun?

stampwilly:
I blotted a little with a paper towel and let them air dry. You can also heat them if you want.

Thank you.  I was using this technique today.  I did notice how sometimes, colors were blending and getting muddy, just a bit.  I decided to use my heat gun, but I think that blotting those areas off may work better and get a more watercolory look.  I will try it. 

You can see one of my backgrounds in this card I did for KIAE.

Also, here is a background I did not use yet. (attached)

I want to try this more to see if I can get a background that will work for a Christmas card.  I think spring and autumn is easier, but I at least want to try.

Thanks for posting this technique.  I am enjoying it.
