'Anything but Ink', is Fashionable Stamping Challenge's new theme.
There is a full explanation over here, together with some fantastic examples from my design team sisters.Also information on the generous prize from our regular sponsor Flonz Crafts
After a few experiments involving gesso, ink spray etc. that went wrong 'big style'. I decided to use Water colours to stamp up my main image.
I have to admit I did enjoy painting the rubber image, giving it a light spray of water [ too much water = loss of detail], the result I was happiest with, you can see above.
I used Spellbinders Labels die cuts to mount the image onto an embossed layer. Now because I decided to keep away from any ink, I used Pans Pastels for the shading.
I will be joining the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge which is 'Anything Goes.
Thank you for stopping by to take a look, I do so appreciate your comments.
I love this little stamp and it looks great in the colours you used. Lovely embossed background panel as well.
