We're so excited you are joining us today! Our goal at TTC is to push the boundaries. Twice a month, we give you a technique along with our own ideas & want to see you what you create to take that technique to the next level.
Today, we bring you water stamping! Super easy & we've added some tips below.
Items needed: stamps, ink, sponges, plate, paper towels, & water.
Heavily sponge one to several colors of ink on your cardstock or other choice of paper medium. Take a plate with a paper towel and soak it with water - this is now your "ink pad'. Ink up your stamp with water and stamp onto your cardstock. Hold for a few seconds and remove. Let dry.
Tips:
Use lighter colored cardstock and darker inks. The water removes the darker ink making the lighter color more vivid.
Stamps - Detailed Background stamps are great like Hello Doily! You're looking for good detail oriented stamps.

Lauri - soft sky and whisper white craft reinkers, plus a bit of dazzling diamonds (although tough to see in the picture!)
Leena's got a little Christmas in July going on here - Acetate and Cherry Cobbler reinker as well as Frost White shimmer
paint and some Gold Lame Smooch. I also ran the acetate through the Big Shot

Twisted Challenge #2 is the Rolled Quartz Technique. If you've never used this technique, here's a great tutorial from Anne Hayward. You'll need to give this some drying time prior to playing with it (a few hours) but it produces SUPER COOL results! The bigger challenge is how you can take this up a notch?
