Happy Saturday, stamping friends!
Welcome to Team Stamp It April Blog Hop. The theme is Mother's Day and I decided once again to use my favorite stamp set - "Birthday Bloom".
I absolutely love this rose image. BUT!
I miss my blendabilities to color it. Well, I know I can use watercolor paper, but I do not always want to use that heavyweight paper on my cards. How about making my own kind of alcohol ink?
This was so easy and quick! Just add few drops of reinker to the block, lightly dilute it with alcohol and start painting! Start as light as possible and add more colors! It is just amazing - the effect is the same as blendebilities: whisper white paper stays nice and smooth and you can create many shades with just one reinker color. For this card I used Watermelon Wonder and Old Olive reinkers. I liked the striped background of the card abowe but did not have any left in Blushing Bride color. So I decided to paint my own paper as well:
Made several in Pool Party and Blushing Bride. Loved this technique so much, and was keep painting:
I am bringing those cards as swap for On Stage Stampin Up! even in Salt Lake City. This card is also April "Thank You" card for my customers.
