The next dozen or so birthday cards use watercolour crayons instead of ink for stamping the images as well as a host of Stampin' Up stamps that I dusted off.
The image is Stampin' Up Blessed Easter which was coloured with a variety of Stampin' Up watercolour crayons and spritzed with water then stamped on Recollections White. The sentiment is Stampin' Up Short & Sweet stamped in Altenew Pure Graphite. The focal panel was layered on Stampin' Up Rose Red and Garden Green.
This is one of my favourite stamping techniques. I find it only really works with red rubber stamps. It can be tricky, not enough water and the image won't stamp or, too much water and the image bleeds horribly. I really have to dig out my not readily available supplies for this type of stamping so I tend to do a whole bunch of images at the same time. With the seventy birthday cards in this series, I figured this was the perfect excuse to play. I have a dozen or more images that I'll turn into some really great birthday cards.
I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.
