This started out as an art journal page, but then I changed my mind and framed it instead, so that I can give it as a gift to someone. I had a cheap frame that I got in a sale box at our local grocery store recently. This project might look hard, but it is much easier than what it looks like. I used a beautiful Rose Bouquet stamp set by Memory Box.
Working on watercolor paper, start by stamping the floral stamp with Antique Linen ink. We want to use a light ink, so that the edges will almost disappear.
Mix up some watercolor paint. I always test my paint on scrap paper first, to make sure I have the shades that I want. Start with lighter shades and then drop in a darker blue towards the center. Before the blue paint dries, drop in yellow in the center. You can also do the same technique with Distress Ink, by smearing the inks on a craft sheet, mist with water and pick up with a paint brush.
Add shadows with brown paint and splatter a tiny bit of paint on the background. Stamp the background with script stamp.
Add highlights with a white gel pen and stamp a sentiment.
Thank you so much for looking!
Happy stamping!
