Stamping without an Ink-Pad
Hi everyone! Susanne from the DT here and today I'd like to show you two other mediums with which
you can ink up your stamps. It doesn't always have to be standard
ink-pads. First of all we start with a card that is stamped with
Neocolor II watercolor crayons. I'm sure you can use any kind of
watersolubal crayons to do this.
Let the fun begin! I picked out some autumn colors and one of the maple leaves from the Rubber Dance "Maple Leaves" set. I colored the stamp with the crayons and added some water with a brush. You need to experiment a little bit not to use too much water but even enough to get a good impression.
I fixed my background (it's heavy weight watercolor paper) with some washi tape onto my working area. Your paper will not slip away and you'll get a nice white border.
To add some interesst I added some color splatters to the card. I skribbled the crayons onto an acrylic block, added water and splashed it randomly. I used different colors.
I also used some Viva Decor Inka Gold for some golden splatters.
There was something missing on my card so I decided to emboss the outlines of the stamped images. I used a Ranger Emboss It Pen and drew some sketchy outlines to the leaves. I embossed them with Ranger gold embossing powder. I used this one for the sentiment, too.
Befor I finished the whole card I painted the edges of the top layer with Inka Gold.
I told you to show two different mediums for stamping. I did nearly the same with the ColourArte Twinklings H2Os. I LOVE these colors. They are so brilliant and shiny.
The
difference between the Neocolor stamping and stamping with the
Twinklings H2Os is how you ink up the stamp. First of all you
have to wet the colors you want to use with some water and let them
sit for some minutes. Now you can take a brush and paint the color onto
the stamp. I used different leaf stamps from the "I Love Leaves" set
from Rubber Dance. Instead of gold outlines I used a black Pitt Artist
Pen to draw some sketchy outlines.
I wish you a nice and crafty day. See you all soon, Susanne.
