Watercolouring with stamps can be done in several different ways and this is just another variation that you won't need a stamping platform for as perfect placement isn't necessary. Previously, I have coloured directly onto stamps with watercolour crayons, spritzed the stamp with water, then stamped. This technique has a few more layers than that and I love how you can get a washed out looking background with the combination of the inks and water spray. I have used both Ranger Distress Ink Pads and also the Distress Oxide Ink Pads to create these samples as well as some other smaller areas of stamping, embossing and a few different embellishments. The trick with this technique is to embrace the white space for adding your other elements and allow the stamped focal image to take centre stage by making it the first thing your eye sees when looking at the atc. I also used stencils to add a little more interest on Sleeping and I Don't Care.
"Sleeping"
"Imperfections"
"Shine your light"
"Take the leap"
"I don't care"
"Easily distracted"
