The technique on Stamp TV this week is called ‘Watercolor Spritz.’ You use markers to color your stamp. Next you spritz it with water then stamp. You can watch Gina K and learn how to do it at Stamp TV.
The stamps I used are from the new Stamp TV kit called Signs of Autumn and Thanks A Million. Everything except the base card are from this kit. The base card is Gina K pure luxury soft sand. I used the watercolor spritz technique to stamp the rooster. I embossed the brown paper behind him with a cuttle bug embossing folder. I have been watching the videos at the Pink Stamper and learned how to use the centering button on my Cricut. I used that to cut the oval around the rooster. Then I just increased the oval size by 1/4 inch to make the yellow and brown oval. I sponged Memento Desert Sand ink around the rooster. The thank you was punched using two SU punches. I love the little brass brads that came in the kit. I think they look great. I am not so sure about the rooster. I stamped two. The colors on one were light and the other was very dark. This is the light one. I like the way the colors melt together when you use this technique.
This card is for two challenges Stamp TV Technique Challenge 25 and Paper Take Weekly - Four Season - I think this looks like fall.
Let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping and please leave a comment if you have time.
