There's a fun sketch challenge to try over at Create With Connie and Mary, CCMC- SUM02. I pulled out my Proud Peacock stamp set which I new would be perfect for the focal panel on this sketch. My color palette is a rich and warm combination of Early Espresso and Peach Parfait with accents of Pacific Point and Pear Pizzazz.
1. Using markers ink up your image starting with the lightest color first.
2. Stamp the image on a neutral cardstock. I find that Whisper White and Very Vanilla work best.
3. Clean stamp and reink with a dark color. I used Early Espresso.
4. Using a Stamp-a-ma-jig align the image to stamp slightly offset from the original stamped image. Remove imaging sheet and stamp.
5. Spritz the image with a mix of Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol. This will cause the colors to slightly bleed. (Double click on the photo to really see this detail)
6. When completely dry stamp the A to Z image down the right side of the panel.
7. Spritz the panel using the Art Air Gun for the delicate splatter flecks.
