Technique Lovers Challenge - Wet Paper Stamping

Hello everyone...it's my turn to host the Technique Lover's Challenge on Splitcoast this week and my challenge is to do Wet Paper Stamping!! I found this wonderful technique on my friend Kathy's blog, Lucky Stamper...she made a gorgeous fall card and added some flower soft to the trees!!

I wet my watercolor paper with a wet paper towel...

The tree from Flourishes Flourished Christmas was stamped with Baja Breeze onto the wet watercolor paper....clear stamps work best for me because I could see placement for the top stamping.

the ink will bleed out a bit ....which is a good thing!!!

dry with a heat tool and then....

stamp over the top of the Baja Breeze tree with a darker color...I used Old Olive
.

I love how the Baja Breeze layer bled out to create a glow behind the Old Olive tree....tooo cool!!!

I used the same technique on the sentiment and cutout the images with a Nestabilities. Sewing was done around the background layer along with some distressing. The scallop was cutout with a Spellbinders scallop die and the wrinkled seam binding, button, twine, and the gold holly and sprig sticker from Martha Stewart finishes it off.
Recipe:

Stamps: Flourished Christmas from Flourishes

Paper: Watercolor Paper, Riding hood Red, Old Olive, Tinsel dp by Memory Box

Ink: Old Olive, Baja Breeze

Accessories: Wrinkled Seam Binding, Button, Twine, Martha Stewart Sticker, Neatabilities, Spellbinder's Scallop Border Die, sewing Machine

I just had to make another sample...I LOOOVE this technique!!! For this card I wet my watercolor paper, stamped the sentiment with Lavender Lace, and dried it with the heat tool.

Old Olive was used to stamp over the Lavender Lace image.

Then I wet the paper around the sentiment, stamped several snowflakes with Lavender Lace, Certainly Celery, Basful Blue, and dried it again.

Old Olive, Bordering Blue, and Elegant Eggplant were the darker colores used to stamp over the snowflakes. I did go back and move a little ink with an aqua pen to get the Old Olive to bleed just a little.

The image was cutout with a Nestabilitits, layered on Lavender Lace with piercing around the edges. A silver pearl was added to one of the snowflakes and the ribbon, snowflakes, button, and silver cording were the finishing touches.
