Hi ya everyone! I'm excited to be participating in the fun blog hop with Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps and IMAGINE! You know my love for Imagine products and it's so fun to use them with a fabulous stamp company like Crackerbox and Suzy!
Today, I used the fabulous stamp Blowing Leaves and the sentiment Autumn Dancing! I stamped them on watercolor paper. Then used my favorite Memento Dye inks to watercolor the leaves or smoosh into the background with water. I love how I got to totally different styles with the same colors of ink just used in a different way! I also stamped the sentiment in Nocturne Versafine Clair. It's not easy to stamp on rough watercolor paper, but this turned out perfect with Versafine Clair. I also added pico embellisher on the leaves I watercolored carefully. Then was able to add the blue background ink to paint the sky. I used the following Memento Inks: Lady Bug, Dandelion, Potters Clay, Morroco, Rich Cocoa, Bamboo Leaves and Summer Sky.
