Default TLC390 ~Water Stamping~ (8/13/12)

Hello everyone!! I have been sooo out of it the last few weeks with my Dad in the hospital that I forgot Judy already posted the Masking tape technique in April...yikes!!! I am sorry.....soooo I have changed the challenge to Bev's Water stamping technique she shared with us on the front page!!!

If you have already made a card with the Masking tape technique....please upload it...we will have a combined gallery just for you!!!!!

My Sample:

TLC390 Revised to Water Stamping

Remember when uploading to use keyword TLC390 (no spaces)

You can view the entire TLC390 Gallery here
Happy Stamping!!!

I tried this last week. Vacation's over and back to work for me today, so I can't make another. But here's the one I made last week: Water Stamped Doily by MelodyGal - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

It's a great technique.

Since I wasn't "Johnny on the Spot", I did the water stamping on a band for today's CAS layout. Really a neat technique...and more predictable than bleach. Thanks, Bev and Joan!

Where can I find a tutorial or instructions on 'how to' waterstamp. I've seen the examples in the gallery but I'm not sure how it is done. Would someone please enlighten me?!

Thanks--
