You are going to love our new background stamp release!! Today we are showcasing the first of three new background stamps in this release CL-05089 Blooming Vines Cling Background Stamp. AJ Bodine created this stunning card using corner die elements and rectangle elements from our DIE-05047 A2 Card Front Basics Dies and the sentiment "Thoughts" from our With Sentiment Dies.
Today I am sharing with you a quick stamping tip for creating a large watercolor stripe on your card. I used distress markers to color directly onto an acrylic block.
Next I spritz the block with water and stamped directly onto watercolor paper. For this card I didn't quite color with my distress markers far enough down on my acrylic block. To compensate, I simply used the block to drag the excess ink down the card front. To add more texture to the watercolor stripe next I colored with markers on the acrylic block and stamped into the watercolor stripe without spritzing the block with water. You can see how I added that texture layered in the video. I also used a Misti Tool to stamp my image to ensure I got a nice crisp black impression.
Don't you just adore how Laura used the Poppies to create her background paper too? Can't wait for you to see all the Poppy Projects from our design team.

The glue remains tacky after it dries and stays tacky until you apply gilding flakes or glitter. Once you stamp the glue onto your cardstock, next look at the surface of the cardstock. If any areas of glue appear light blue- allow these areas to dry. The translucent areas are already dry (the glue dries very quickly). Once all the areas are translucent add the Gilding Flakes.
Here are links to the products I used in the video - Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Flake and Glitter Glue - the glue is the magic. You can use a palette knife to put any extra glue you don't use back into the bottle.
