Your Life is a Canvas (stamping bella)

Hi everyone! Today I did a bit of playing around with Copic’s Various Ink and Colorless Blender.

Last week I watercolored with Various Ink. Today I created a simple, very colorful rainbow background for Stamping Bella‘s Uptown Girl Abigail the Artist.

Copic Various Ink – R29, Y17, Y13,B05; Copic markers – B05, B24, C1, C2, C3, E00, E01, E11, E30, E31, E35, E37, E40, E42, E50, E51, E53, G07, R00, R01, R24, R29, R59, RV19, RV32, RV66, Y17, Y21, YG03, YG17

It was so easy. Here’s what I did:

First I saturated a block of watercolor paper with Colorless Blender.

Across the top I added two or three drops each of R29, Y17, Y13 and B05 Various Ink, overlapping the drop edges just a bit with each additional color.

I stood the paper inside an old shoe box, allowing the inks to run down the paper. Where needed, I applied additional drops of ink to cover to the bottom.

Once dried, I die-cut the panel and assembled my card.

I used my MISTI to easily stamp the bottom line of the sentiment in a rainbow of colors.  🙂
