White Stamping

Drippage is very big at the moment on the craft scene, so my design started with this idea. The next step was suggested by the Craft Stamper magazine's December challenge, namely white stamping, or rather in my case white embossing, so I could use a resist technique with my drips!



After stamping a butterfly background image by Crafty Individuals (CI- 231), I used Gelatos in blue, purple and pink colours, as prescribed by the Rubber Dance latest challenge and sprayed liberally with water.

The flower is from the Delightful Dahlias set by Papertrey Ink, a 3 steps image, as is the sentiment.

I was going to say it was simple enough, however I did make 2 previous attempts: one on watercolour cardstock, which didn't give me the best drippage, and one on "rock" paper which melted in a twisted mess when I attempted to emboss it!

Still, I learned a few things in the process...
Thanks for coming by,
