I've been clearing out my studio space so have been quiet here, but have been checking in to see the lovely creations. While sorting through a stack of long forgotten papers, I came across an advertisement for HERO art stamps and it gives instructions for 'water misting.' This was a tag in the making (with literally no input from me!!) so I am showing you how easy it was to make.
Instructions for the technique read as follows: 1. choose a design with a flat rubber surface. Floral images are an especially good choice. 2. 'paint' directly onto rubber using ink cubes (stamp pads) and your fingertips, or a brush. Use one or more shades of a colour for a blended effect. 3. Mist rubber with water and stamp directly onto paper. Mist again for a lighter impression. [note that I have used my own description above]
When I have more 'play' time, I'm going to try this technique.
Nice to see you all again, *smiles* Norma
