TLC294 ~ Wet Paper Stamping~ (10/11/10)

[joan ervin]

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks TLC...I am really excited about this technique because it is sooo easy and makes such a beautiful look!!! Today we are going to do Wet Paper Stamping!!

I found this wonderful technique on my friend Kathy's blog,Lucky Stamper...she made a gorgeous fall card and added some flower soft to the trees!!

Here is my tutorial for Wet Paper Stamping

Some things to remember:
1. Make the watercolor paper fairly wet in order for the ink to bleed.
2. Stamp you image in a lighter color and dry with a heat tool.
3. Make sure the first image is dry before stamping the second one in order to achieve a clean image

Here are my samples:

[TexasGrammy]

Your samples are oh-so-gorgemous, Joan!
To love, to love!

[lacyquilter]

Love this technique. Interesting that you used watercolor paper. I've always used shimmery white (or Curious Metallic Cryogen white) cardstock.

[Bev Barton]

I can't wait to try this technique tomorrow. Your tutorial is appreciated !!

[jerppt]

Fun challenge, Joan! How funny that I was working on this when you posted. We must have been on the same wavelength! Here's my Sunflower Day. Thanks so much for looking!

[DawnL]

thanks Joan! fun

[kayne]

I love the sound of this, but I can't try it yet - I don't have any watercolor paper! I'll see if I can find some at the local craft store, but she is very limited in what she has. I'll order it next time from Stampin' Up, but that won't be a month or two. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's creations.

Where else can you buy watercolor paper? Can you use any other kind of paper for this technique?

[MariLynn]

Ginger_P I just used regular cardstock on my project.

Why don't you try regular cardstock...as long as you don't get it too wet and don't do too much manipulation it won't peel. You can also ink up the stamp, mist it with water, stamp it, dry image with a heat tool, and stamp again with a darker color...different technique but you can get the same effect!! Hope this helps!!

[vanislandwoman]

You can buy watercolour paper at any art store, and probably most big chain stores that carry craft/art supplies. I've bought it at discount stores too. It comes in a wide variety of thicknesses and surfaces, so you get different looks with each paper. As for 'can you do it on other paper'- well, just try it out on a scrap! You just don't want the paper to be too thin (the water will wrinkle the paper) or too smooth- the water and the ink will sort of slide around without absorbing into the paper too well. But your best bet is just to experiment. Try different cardstocks if you have them. I keep samples of things I try in a book so I can leaf through it when I'm looking for some kind of look.

I got a little carried away with my smooch spritzing and it covered up the snowflakes but I like the colors it created so here goes:
