Most of the time I use Technique Junkies Stamps on my blog. But I have lots of stamps from lots of other companies. This one is called Waterfront and is from Stampin' Up!. The little tufts of grass is from Art Impressions.
I used some Colorburst on the mountain stamps just directly and then misted it with water. This is the second or third generation of using the stamp in this way. I added some definition to the mountain tops with a water based marker and blended it in a bit. I sponged on the sky a bit over some the sky that was inked a bit with one of the stamps in this set. I couldn't get it to blend the way I wanted.
This card is from a "experimenting day." Do you have days like that -- where you decide to use a stamp set and then experiment to see what you come up with? That is what I did. I first looked at Pinterest and Splitcoast Stampers for ideas. Then I experimented . To me one of the wonderful things about stamping is that you look at cards and create your own focal image that is very different than what the other card was.
I wanted this to look like it was watercolored. I think it has that look, do you?
Have a wonderful day -- and get inky! Maybe experiment a bit!
