Pat Carr's Stamp Camp October 2016 - Project #1 - Watercolour Lift Technique

Hi Friends,
For today's post I am featuring a project we made at Pat Carr's Stamp Camp in October 2016. There are 20 projects in all.  I have quite a few posts to catch up on so will endeavour to keep them coming until they are done.

Watercolour Lift Technique

You apply a lot of water to your card then drop drops of different colours from re-inkers or a paintbrush on to the card, swish it around a little with a paint brush and when it is quite saturated with colour you remove the colour and water with a papter towel.  When the card is dry you stamp with Versamark after apply the embossing buddy and emboss with clear embossing powder.  This then picks up the image and darkens it where the embossing has been done.

The borders on the mats have been made with the Best Badge Punch.

Supplies:

Stamps: S/U's Embellished Ornaments
Card: Dapper Denim, Whisper White, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper
Ink: Versamark, Dapper Denim, Pool Party, Tempting Turquiose
Finishing Touches: Silver Cord
Cool Tools: Big Shot, Sizzix Flourish Thinlits Dies, Banner Triple Punch, Best Badge Punch, Embossing Buddy, Clear E/Powder, Heat Tool, Aqua Painter, Dble Sided Tape, Dimensionals, Tombow Multi Glue, Mini Glue Dots

Thanks for stopping by today, hope you have enjoyed this post.
Hugs,

Merry Christmas Graham!
