I've spritzed stamps, but not with layering images like this bloom from Rosie Posie. The little tag & sentiment are from Tiny Tags. The inks are PTI Lovely Lady, Berry Sorbet, Limeade Ice, Lemon Tart, Harvest Gold & Memento Toffee Crunch.
For Master Color Recipes I chose the one inspired by Renoir. My background was done with Distress Paint Wild Honey softened with Antique Linen & then watercolored with Hawaiian Shores.
I used the other colors to stamp the images from Friendly Flowers. The sentiment is stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia & the mat is Berry Sorbet cardstock.
Next is Starry Night--such a fun card to make! My PTI inks are Enchanted Evening, Blueberry Sky, Amethyst Allure & Ocean Tides. When I tried to add more ink with a waterbrush it looked like my sky was ruined. I let it dry & then did more blending of the inks & it came out just like I wanted.
I used a foam brush with black acrylic paint for the land & trees. The stars are splatters of white paint & brushed pewter Distress Stain. I added Stardust Stickles to the die cut word from Don't Forget to Write.
For Floral Impressionism I used The Sweet Life, Don't Forget to Write & Text Style.
The inks are Sweet Blush, Melon Berry, Mink Julep, Spring Moss, Fine Linen & Memento Toffee Crunch. It did take a couple tries to figure out which of the stamp layers to use, but I love the end result--soft & feminine. I'm also entering the 30 Day Coloring challenge.
Thanks for sticking with me--last card is for Mastering Drips & Splatters.
I couldn't resist trying the yarn dipped in watercolor. Even though I mixed the paint with more water & got a different look, I really like it. I watercolored a scrap of the wc paper so my die cut word from Don't Forget to Write would match the blue splatters. The mat & sentiment are Royal Velvet. I'm also entering The Playground & Double D. Take care if you're in a heatwave. I won't complain after experiencing the high humidity of the East coast!
