New Infusions from PaperArtsy.....

Yes, you can now see all the new colours and lots of artwork if you head on over to the PaperArtsy Blog.
Meanwhile here's a step by step to show you how I made my Flower Tag:

 

For this project I'm using a Stamp Positioner as I want to overstamp my image. Ink up with VersaMark:


Sprinkle on the Infusions - I've used Sleight Blue, In the Navy and a touch of Golden Sands:


Rub them into the stamp:


Spritz about 3 times:


and stamp. I love this bit - it's always great to see the detail you can get even though you're using a watercolour medium:


Add details in black - I coloured the eyes and round the features and face - to add definition:




Next for the background. Using a JOFY stencil I sprinkled Violetta and Golden Sands through the stencil and spritzed:




So it looks like this:


Then I flipped over the stencil and stamped with it on another piece of card:


You get two quite different effects:


Just repeat over and over to create a background. You can also mix the two techniques on the same background:


I added a bit of stamping in Sleight Blue :


Then finish off as you please!

                                     


Thanks for looking!

Helen

Stamping with infusions and stencils, you are so clever Helen. I love these samples, the colours are delicious and now I really want to try stamping with infusions! x
