I watched a video by Ang and Whit of Unity Stamp Co. They were creating ombre backgrounds with water color. I was very inspired to create one myself. I use Distress Markers: Dusty Concord and milled lavender. I just put some color on a acrylic block and then picked up the color with my water brush and swiped back and forth on the card.
I liked the striped look I was getting, so I would let the card dry some and then add a bit more color in spots. As long as your brush is not to wet it will add more color over top of the color you already have down.
The stamp is from Unity Stamp Co Stamp of the Week called Butterfly of Peace. I really love this butterfly and the sentiment, but this was the first time I had stamped with it. I used my Memento Luxe Rich Cocoa ink, because I wanted a pigment ink. Plus I only have this color and black in pigment inks right now. I have more colors in water base ink, because I do love water base inks. I thought black would be to stark on this back ground. I love how this color just seems to blend with the color.
I also like how this stamp has open spaces in the wings. You can see the color of the background through the flowers as if it was lace. It is very pretty. I can see turning this into a greeting card.
Happy Crafting!
