Hello Stampers,
Time to pull your markers and a clear block to add color to the Garden Shed. This is is a easy technique for the one that don’t like to spend the time coloring but like to add color to a detail stamp set. I will show you how simple it is in today video.
You can view the video below in this post or on my YouTube Channel.
Color Choice
I try a few different combo. Here some of the combo that I am sharing today.
- Pretty Peacock, Soft suede and Seaside Spray. My favorite combo.
- Bermuda Bay, Old Olive and Gray Granite
- Old Olive, Balmy Blue, Bermuda Bay and Crumb Cake
You can make any color combo of your choice. when you scribble on the clear block I recommend that you start with the lightest color to the darkest color.
Clear Block Technique Set by Step
- scribble 3 to 4 colors using markers into a clear block. Start with the lightest to the darkest. E block was used for today card.
- Using the spritzer, spritz water onto the colored block.
- Press the block onto watercolor paper. Keep pressing for about 20 second.
- Let dry
- Using memento black ink, stamped your image. I used the stamparatus to stamp so I could stamp a few time to get a dark image.
Measurement
I try different color combo. Pretty Peacock and Seaside Spray. Gray Granite and Bermuda Bay. Whisper White and Basic Black.
- Card base 11 x 4¼ score at 2¾ and 5½
- Color Layer 5¼ x 4
- Watercolor paper or thick whisper white 5 x 3¾
- Whisper White 5 x 3¾ inside if using a dark color for base
I try this technique on watercolor paper and on thick whisper white card stock. What I experience the whisper white thick cardstock tense to warp. To stop the warping, you can spritz water into the back of the paper. Using the heat tool heat the back of the paper then the front and keep doing it a few times and it will straighten the paper.
The watercolor paper you’ll get a deeper color due to the cotton in the paper.
If you ask me what do I prefer, I would say watercolor paper but are good just my personal choice for the deep colors.
