A project from our live show CATCH UP with Toni & Emma for A FRIDAY LAUNCH in the HTCN studio broadcast 14th Jan 22 · 01/14/2022
Create a layered card page by stamping floral designs, masking elements, and building up the image with watercolour and pigment inks. This technique creates dimension and allows you to layer stamps without muddy colours.
Stamp your main heart design onto the page using pigment ink.
Create a mask by fussy cutting a duplicate of your stamped element to use as a protective layer.
Position the mask over your stamped heart and stamp your flower design on top, creating the illusion of layering.
Remove the mask to reveal the flower appearing in front of the heart.
Fussy cut additional pre-coloured flower elements and position them on your page with glue.
Use a water brush to apply watercolour paint over your stamped and glued elements, creating soft colour washes.
Add shadow definition around each element using a darker watercolour or pencil, applied just to one side.
Once dry, use a white gel pen to add highlights such as cheeks, eye dots, and light reflections to bring elements to life.
Add a dark background colour or shadow behind your main elements to make them pop forward on the page.
Share your make with the Stamps By Me community - and keep this guide for next time.
