I absolutely love the sentiments and images in the Picture Perfect stamp set! It is a technique stamp set-- you are supposed to do two or three step stamping with different colors to layer the images! Now, I will say that I don't find it to be that forgiving of a technique-- if you don't line it up just so it doesn't look at that great to me... But....
Add water and tada! Gorgeous!
Add water and tada! Gorgeous!
My daughter loved making this hummingbird. Basically you stamp the image (I used Lost Lagoon, Tip Top Taupe, and Watermelon Wonder) and then use a spritzer to spray the wings out with water... All on watercolor paper, of course.
Now the flower took a bit more playing around... But I ended up liking Calypso Coral, Melon Mambo, and Watermelon Wonder. And my pattern was to spritz the first layer on your stamp before you stamp it on the paper, then stamp the next two layers.
Add a few flicks of Watermelon Wonder and some Wink of Stella Clear and you have a gorgeous flower!
The final image from this stamp set was the starfish and I just heat embossed the "darker" of the two stamps with gold and then once that cooled off I spritzed the paper and did a wash of Lost Lagoon on the watercolor paper. Nice right? And our new black archival ink stamped clean on the watercolor paper for the sentiment. Plus, this ribbon is luscious!
