Tuesday with Tara {take 407} Inky Bouquet

Happy Tuesday!

Today I’m sharing one card in two color palettes, featuring Inky Bouquet stamps by Altenew & Distress Spray Stains as the medium!

I love this set because it includes a gorgeous bouquet as well as some fun ink splatter stamps and a variety of beautiful sentiments.  I love the ink splats because, to me, they give permission for some messy, inky coloring!  I decided to start with white embossing the stamp on two different papers.  The first card, with a brighter color palette, was done on watercolor card stock.

I spritzed over the entire image with Saltwater Taffy Distress Spray Stain, then selected a few colors to blend with it for my watercolor painting.  You can watch the process on replay of my Facebook Live Crafty Class HERE.  For both cards, I tied it all together by adding some stamped splatters in the same ink I used for the sentiment.

As you can see, the second card has a much softer color palette.  I used Kitsch Flamingo as my starting place, but the main reason it’s lighter is the paper.  This one, a smooth white, absorbed the color more than the watercolor paper.

I did both cards side by side in my Facebook Live and it really helps to demonstrate the difference between them!  I encourage you to experiment with different materials in your stash to see how they respond to your techniques.

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing these two cards side by side!  I really had fun making them!

Inky hugs,

Tara
