A Touch of Ink for New at SU Blog Hop

                         

Welcome to our February NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin’ with creative paper crafting ideas to share with you. Today we are showcasing the 2021 Sale-A-Bration Brochure to get you excited and brimming with ideas about how to use these great products that you can earn during the rest of this month! I am using the A Touch of Ink stamp set for my projects:

• I used a watercolour technique where I inked up the stamp then sprayed it with water and stamped it onto watercolour paper.
• I started with the filler or background step of the two step stamping process. I used quite a bit of water on it and after stamping, I used a Water Painter to spread the ink even further and blur the outline of the image a bit more.

• I used the Fluid 100 Watercolour paper for the images. The backgrounds were dried before the outline images were stamped. I also sprayed water on the inked stamps for the outline images, but not as much and I didn't spread the ink with a water painter for these. I dried them before starting a new colour.
• The flower image has a stem and leaves, but I just inked up the flower parts with Highland Heather for the background and Gorgeous Grape for the outline.
• The leaves are Soft Sea Foam for the background and Granny Apple Green for the outline.
• I stamped the hummingbird on a separate piece of watercolour paper, inking up different parts of the stamp with different colours straight from the ink pads for the background and spraying with water before stamping.
• The outline was Memento Tuxedo Black and then I touched it up with Stampin' Blends. I fussy cut the image and mounted it on Dimensionals.

• The butterfly is Crushed Curry for both background and outline.
• The embellishments are Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.

• The background designer series paper is from Forever Greenery DSP.
