For my project, I stamped using markers on mixed media paper
Materials List:
Ink:Black
Markers: hot pink, red, and Olive green
Papers: Mixed Media pad from Strathmore
CS: pink and green
Pink Ribbon
Make It:
- Tear a sheet of mixed media paper from pad and trim to size; tear the bottom edge
- Ink the stamp with markers and stamp on paper
- Stamp sentiment with black ink
- Distress edges of paper with green marker by drawing along edge of paper; spritz paper with water and blend with finger and let dry
- Add a layer of green and pink CS
- Tie ribbon around piece
Here are two additional ideas for stamping this flower with markers and an ink pad. I sprayed water onto mixed media paper; ink the stamp with markers and stamped. When dry, I stamped again with a dark ink--an archival or Stazon so it will not bleed. Kind of a fun way to use this stamp. The first sample had a lot more water on the paper than the second sample.
