visit the Forum Tips and Tricks Board.Technique InstructionsSupplies:
Dye ink: you will probably want a light colored ink. I thought Distress inks worked best, but you can try any ink you have.
Watercolor paper: worked best for me, but plain white cardstock also worked just fine.
Background stamp: or another large stamp.
Another stamp.
This is just a variation on watercolor stamping technique in order to get a pretty, soft background that you can stamp right over top of.
1) Ink up your background stamp with your light dye ink. Stamp off onto scrap paper.
2) Without cleaning stamp, spritz lightly with water and stamp onto watercolor paper. (As an alternative, you could try huffing ont he stamp instead and see how it looks.)
Allow paper to dry. The result will be a light colored soft background.
3) Stamp over the background with another stamp or stamps (use any ink color). You may choose to color that stamp any way you wish.
4) Complete project. This may be a card, ATC, tag, etc.
Tips: If your background is darker than you would like, stamp off more color before spritzing with water. In this case, you could also just use black as your second stamped color.RequirementsThere will be a RAK for this challenge.
