July is Water Color Month – Technique #1

I wanted to share water coloring a stamped image as the first technique.

This is the card I made. If you want to follow along you will need:

Your favorite cling stamp I used an image of pumpkins but you can use what you want.
Stazon ink #101406. This is a must.
Acrylic blocks to stamp with #118491
Water painter #151298 You could use a paint brush and water if you wanted but these water painters are so easy to use and spare the possible mess.

Your favorite inks. I used Old Olive #147090 Pumpkin Pie #147086, So Saffron #147109 and Soft Sude #147115,

DSP and cardstock for layers. I used 4″ x 4-1/2″ piece of DSP from the Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper Pack #159535
I also used a 4-3/8″ x 2-1/2″ piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock #120953
A 4-1/8″ x 2-1/8″ piece of Basic Black #121045 cardstock was also used
Finally a 2″ x 4″ piece of Basic White #159276 was the top layer
Fluid 100 Water Color paper #149612 was used to stamp the image on. This is perfect paper for water coloring.
