You've Got This



I finally got some time to play and tried a new technique.

I tried the Ghosting Technique by Dyan Reaveley

It's one of the techniques that Loll linked to at the
Happy Little Stampers CAS June Challenge


I mixed some re-inker with water in some Stampin' Spritzers
(Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral) and sprayed on a piece of
140 lb. cold press watercolor paper.

When is was dry, I placed a NBUS stencil on top and spritzed with water 
I immediately lifted up the stencil and let the water work for about 15 seconds.
I blotted it with a paper towel and presto, a lovely, subtle, ghosted image!

All that was left was to stamp an image and dress it up and it was done.

The Misti came in really handy for stamping.
I had to stamp several times to get a good image.

    AWESOME!! Your colours are gorgeous ... just like a beautiful setting sunset behind your flower. Great job with the ghosting technique --- love the dreamy design. And your outline flower is just perfect with that little bit of bling in the center and sequins. Thanks for playing along at Happy Little Stampers, Bonnie!! xx

    This is beautiful Bonnie and the pretty colour and the ghosting technique has worked really well, and the flower stamped in black with the lovely sequins scattered around is just perfect. x
