HLS Anything Goes

 

Hello, welcome to my blog. Today there is a new challenge at Happy Little Stampers.  On the 1st of each month we would love for you to be joining in our Watercolour - Anything Goes challenges. 

The main area of this card was created using the block technique. Choose an acrylic stamping block, size depends on your main image and your card. Using DI x 3, stamp 3 sections on the block, making sure there is a good amount of ink transferred to the block. Lightly spary with water, till bubbles appear. stamp directly onto watercolour card, keeping the block very still. Press for a minute, gently lift. allow to dry, help along pat with kitchen paper if necessary. Once dry. Stamp your image, I used Painter's Vase from Penny Black.  Draw a fine line around the stamped block image. Matted onto yellow card. Sentiment, from My Paper World,  stamped onto white card, fussy cut added with dimensionals.   Thanks  again for your visit. Enjoy the challenge.
