question about technique...

[Stampcrazy82]

I have seen aalot of people i the last little while using the More Petal Prints stamp set from the winter mini cataloque. I noticed that many of you are useing a technique that adds alot of different colours to teh images making each flower individual and realistic. I was just wondering how you are doing this. Are you using markers?? are you spraying the stamp with water first to give it a watercolour look?? I love the way this looks and am just dying to know how you are doing it!!

Any help would be apperciated!!

Thenks in Advance!

You are correct on both counts -

Use markers for coloring in, using several colors, one for the stems and another one, two, or three for the flower. Then blend the flower part just a bit with a blender pen or aquapainter, huff on the image and then stamp.

Also spritzing a fine mist from a spray bottle onto your stamp after you color it gives that fuzzy, soft watercolor effect that bleeds into the paper look.
