Hey, I'm on a roll now... Ok. scratch that. Got a little euphoric because I made another card, this time with this beautiful technique of Tim's.
So Grundy Mondays #8 was all about faux water colors. The link will take you to Linda's blog and you can see the wonderful art all Tim's "followers" have submitted. I spend hours looking everyone's pieces.
My project is about month late, lol, but no worries: I have yet #6,7,9,10 and 11 to do and they are ALL late! But since I love Tim and his fab techniques, I'll be doing them all... some time.
I used watercolor paper/cardstock which, and I quote the Master : " is designed for water and ink. the little pits in the paper work as ink wells and allow colors to pool up creating great effects"
Who am I to question this? :) And I love what I came up with. I did do some practicing first with a couple of different stamps and colors - my Adirondack Dye Ink supply is quite limited, I have only 3 pads, so I went ahead and used also some Distress Inks (worked nicely).
The quote is Tim's too, the butterfly stamp is a clear stamp from Chatterbox if I remember correctly. I slightly colored the edges with Distress Ink and mounted the piece on DCWV plum cardstock of which I then distressed/sanded the edges. Luv this!
