Expressionistic Watercolor Technique
 

Can anyone tell me how to do this technique?
Thanks in Advance

...waiting with you!

Different name, but same technique (forget the K-Pad whatever that is, use a Stampin' Up! pad):

The way that I've seen this done is that you really get your cardstock wet. Ink your stamp up and stamp on the wet cardstock. Repeat at least one time. Then air dry or use your heat gun to dry the cardstock. When cardstock is completely dry, then stamp the image again. So you have a really nice stamped image on top of all the blurred lines, so it looks like you've painted. The results are gorgeous!

Those are so cool - I'm going to have to try this :) :) :) :)

Isn't a "K-pad" a Kaleidacolor pad? And wouldn't a person be able to use a spectrum pad available in the catalog?

May be. I just never heard it called that before. I thought it was a brand name.

K-pad and spectrum pad are the same thing - YES they would work for this technique

Thanks so very much! You guys are talented and sweet!!

Oh some thing else to try!!! I'll never keep up with all the great ideas on this site!

Impressionist Watercolors
 

I love impressionist art, I love flowers, I love Penny Black, I love watercolors, I love stamping, I love Kaleidacolors/Spectrums, I'm just flat out in love. Printing up all this stuff is running me out of ink, but gotta have it in my notebook of neato stuff. Kathy

Is this technique done on regular CS or on glossy CS?
Thanks!

I think that regular CS probably gives you the best results. I haven't tried in on the glossy...

IMO, best results are with SU's shimmer white CS

Oh wow, I just tried this, it is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for the instructions.

OMGosh! Those cards are awesome. Yet another technique I've fallen in love with. I will never be stumped for how to make a card again. I love this site!!! :D :D :D

I will have to try this the effect is beautiful to see!

Do markers work as well
 

Anyone know if the SU! Markers work for this method? Have to try it out and see but thought someone would know.

Any type of stamp or stamp set that you'd recommend for this technique?

I haven't gotten any of the shimmer white yet. I'm going to have to order some at our next group meeting. I want to try this along with all the Sketch challenges, the prismacolor pencils, etc. etc.

absolutely paint prints. i have a couple in my gallery done with this set. I'll try and post a link.

I am sure other sets would work too, but this is the only one i have tried so far.

I love Paint Prints for this technique too! Here are some cards from my gallery

I liked using Naturals White Cardstock - gets nice a wet :)

Re: Do markers work as well
 

Yes! We made some pretty tags at my workshop on Saturday. Used shimmery white, and inked up More Petal Prints with markers. Just gorgeous, if I do say so myself!

ooohh and aaahhhh! how pretty-gotta try this!
