Card Making Using a Rubber Stamp on a Wet Image

Video Transcript

"Hi! I’m Fran Bricken and I wanted to show you one of my favorite techniques is using stamps and water color images to create sort of a water color effect on a stamp. There are stamps that actually say water color on them, you can use ink pads on them, they don’t have to be water colored but they do make a nice water colored effect. You want to get a stamp that’s got a solid image to it, to be able to do that you want to get your stamp and I found that little ink pads work well on these cause it’s easier to kind of go around and stamp, I’m just using this red to go around and stamp on the petals. What we’re going to do is stamp an image that looks like this and then use your red, get a color to do your middle and you can mix a little bit of that in there too if you want a little bit of shading, for the leaves just stamp your leaves now it doesn’t have to be on there perfectly because water color is a very imperfect look just one of the reasons I like it, it makes a nice effect. After you’ve got your stamp you want to just mist it, place it down on your card, left it up and you can see you get a really nice effect there, it’s like you’ve actually hand water colored that and you used a stamp and it makes just a very nice presentation for a card.
