I hope you enjoyed the Halloween Video from yesterday’s post. If you didn’t see it go back to yesterday’s post. So today is a Technique post for you.
As many stampers know, StāzOn ink is a watercolorist’s best friend. Why? It doesn’t smear when it comes in contact with water—which means it’s the perfect choice for stamping and watercoloring projects.
Most of us are familiar with Jet Black StāzOn, but did you know that we also offer this amazing ink in Saddle Brown? Its rich, earthy color is perfect for many types of projects, and can be especially useful for creating a soft, vintage look.
To show off Saddle Brown ink (and the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle!), we created a beautiful, nature-themed card using a Crumb Cake Cardstock base. We stamped the bough image twice on a Crumb Cake Cardstock layer, then added a watercolor wash of Pecan Pie ink on top to give the card an aged/tea-stained look. Tip: Use the wide Water Painter.
Stamp the bird image in Saddle Brown StāzOn ink on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, then add watercolor details with the medium Water Painter and various inks (we used Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Lost Lagoon, and Pecan Pie).
We stamped the sentiment on Very Vanilla Cardstock and die cut the banner shape using the Stylish Shapes Dies.
To finish, layer the elements, positioning the Shaded Spruce Cardstock bough beneath the branch.
