www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Playing In The Rain stamp set used with the mirror technique to make a pretty anniversary card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

The same image was then mounted onto the Stamparatus Plate and stamped in the same ink onto the Silicon craft sheet. I repeated this step to make sure I had a good strong image.

I lifted the silicon sheet up, turned it face down and placed it onto the Basic White panel next to the previously stamped turtle. I rubbed it lightly and left it in position for a minute or two to allow the ink to transfer.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Playing In The Rain stamp set used with the mirror technique to make a pretty anniversary card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

The turtles were then coloured using the following Blends Pens – Petal Pink, Smoky Slate, Pecan Pie and Pebbled Path.

I used Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight Blends to colour in the flower. The ground was coloured with Crumb Cake Blends Pens and the small grassy image was stamped in 1^st & 2^nd generation Granny Apple Green ink. A Blending Brush was used to add some Balmy Blue ink to the ‘sky’.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pair of ducks anniversay card made using the Stylish Sketches stamp set for the Technique Tuesday Watercolor Blog Hop

I positioned the pretty stamp onto the Stamparatus Plate and placed the larger panel of Shimmery White card beneath it. I love using Shimmery White as it holds the water better than Basic White card and has a delicate sheen which is so pretty. The image was stamped in Early Espresso ink, I repeated this step to get a good dark image.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pair of ducks anniversay card made using the Stylish Sketches stamp set for the Technique Tuesday Watercolor Blog Hop

Using re-inkers dropped into the top of my ink pads, I coloured in the image using a Waterpainter. The colours I used for the ducks were Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, Pool Party & So Saffron and I used Balmy Blue for the sky and Pear Pizzazz for the grass.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pair of ducks anniversay card made using the Stylish Sketches stamp set for the Technique Tuesday Watercolor Blog Hop

After the panel had dried, I added it to the Petal Pink panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I placed a heavy acrylic block on top to reduce the warping that you often get with watercolouring. The whole piece was then mounted onto the card base with Dimensionals.
