My friend Daria hosted two Winterfest challenges and kindly sent all the participants a RAK. This beautiful Gloxinia stamp set by Innovative Stamp Creations arrived Friday. I wasted no time in getting it inky! However, the stamp did create a wee challenge for determining the best coloring technique. This faux watercolor technique is my favorite result so far. I used white shimmer watercolor by Yasutoma to add the white accents. The background is glimmer mist. The small leaf in front is Fred Mullett's Italian Parsley stamp. Thanks Daria for the added fun!
If you enjoy Ranger Products as much as I do, I hope you make a regular stop at Roni's blog-Ink Stains. She is oh so creative! This week she posted a wonderful tutorial on making bottle cap charms. She loves sharing techniques and getting inky too!
This week she also posted a sketch challenge so I gave it a try with stamps from Inkadinkado. The bottom half of the card in paper from Basic Grey the rest is sprayed with glimmer mist. I used green embossing tinsel on all the images.
Thanks for dropping by!
Jan, your gloxinia card turned out beautifully! I knew that image was going to be a challenge, and I love how you met it. I'm going to be looking for some of that white shimmer paint you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI like your sketch card too, and I'll check out the blog you linked.
Thank you.
Daria
