HI everyone - just a quick post today. I had some great fun stamping some butterflies for a workshop recently (the project will be published here on Mother's day) and I absolutely love the results - it's such a shame that however I photographed these the light did not do them justice.
You can see how wonderfully 'chalky' they look.
Tim showed at CHA that if you cross contaminate your ink pads all you have to do is rub them clean again - I tried it and it certainly worked for me.
To get the gorgeous blended look after I had inked the stamp I just spritzed it lightly with water before stamping it. The mixes of the colours are amazing and of course each butterfly is truly unique.
Here's a sneak peek of the one I used on the workshop project.
Let me know if you try this out and what results you get.
Thanks for stopping by.

They're gorgeous Brenda...so unique. My DOs may be arriving today....I can't wait to have a play. Have a great week ahead. Hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the finished project, the stamped images look fabulous. They remind me of the "dustyness" you get if you accidentally touch a butterflies wings XXX
ReplyDeleteThese look super pretty Brenda. I need to get mine. Waiting to see a fell reveal of your project.
ReplyDeleteWow! Das sind schöne zarte Schmetterlinge.
ReplyDeleteIch habe das Gefühl, sie auf meiner Hand zu spüren, so fein und grazil sehen sie aus.
Eine wundervolle Idee, liebe Brenda.
Die verschiedenen Farbtöne lassen die Schmetterlinge noch feiner und lebendiger wirken.
Danke fürs Teilen.
Herzlichst Sophie

Nearly missed this as I was away when you posted it and I'm trying to catch up on everything. This is a gorgeous little butterfly. I've been working with the oxides but can't post the samples yet but I love how you get that chalky look when you spray water on the stamp. Will definitely pop back to see the full project, looks lovely. Happy crafty week, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous results Brenda! Xx
