Strip of Vintage Flowers (Watercoloring layer stamps)

June 24, 2015 by Sandy Allnock 28 Comments [featured_image}

More Watercolor Flowers?!? No way, right? YES way! This one is way out of my comfort zone, too!

Video

The Watercolored Anemones set from WPlus9 is a set created from a watercolor painting by Dawn (see it below the video), the owner of the company; she created it so we could all use our pigment inks and make watercolor-looking flowers with layering the stamps. But I wanted to see what would happen if they really had some watercoloring….so I tried it!

And that Gold Crackle Texture Paste!? Be still my beating heart! I’m thinking Christmas cards…oh man. I may buy a couple jars of that stuff in case you guys buy it all, it is soooooo pretty and shiny!

I think this card was well worth all the attempts to make it work….what do you think?

    Thank you Sandy so much for this tutorial! I have watched it multiple times and have never tried the technique before, but I tried it and I loved the results! Thanks to you teaching this technique I was inspired to use it with many of my floral stamps. Blessings to you and yours.

    Wonderful. You really don’t sleep, I believe. Some projects take me so long to get done and than I think of you and your inspiration. With that I know all will get completed on time with a little faith mixed in.

    Sandy, Sandy, Sandy! This so reminds me of some old valentines I found. This truly has the vintage look and the colors are perfect. I love watching you do what you do. I can only hope that someday I will create something with water colors that is half as good as yours. You are a true artist. You are an inspiration to all. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

    Oh, so lovely! The flowers look like someone lovingly pressed them between the pages of a book, and you just took them out to create this beautiful card. There’s a whole story there that’s making itself up in my mind! 🙂 Very romantic art.

    In looking at the stamp set I would have never thought it could be turned in to something so beautiful. I love everything about the card and am so appreciative of your talent and artist’s eye. As always, thank you for sharing your gifts with us.

    This is AWESOME!! How the heck did you come up with this?! Just once I’d like to spend the day in your creative brain and see how it works!! I’m not a Watercolorer by any means, but I have distress inks and I think I might be able to pull this off! Truth be told, I would have totally passed up this stamp in my LSS, but now seeing how it can be used, “cha ching$$”- it will probably have to come home with me! Thanks always for sharing your talent- I love this blog and will be waiting to see what comes next!)

    […] Crackle Paste shared on Day 2: Viva Croco is super shiny, and works better with Haft Grund (base coat) beneath it; otherwise the paper can curl and the crackle is rougher. In comparison to Prima’s Crackle, the Croco is ubershiny and has a wider texture; Prima’s is a more delicate crackle. I have another video using the Prima HERE. […]
