I have made a collage with  several stamps and a watercolour background

Squeezed Lemonade, Picked Raspberry and Evergreen Bough  with a paintbrush,just letting the colours merge.

 I then inked up my stamps and placed them where I thought was best

I coloured in my bird with more Distress inks and added a couple more stamps

Hello to you all, I am sharing a tag today made for the challenge over at Dragons Dream TIO. There challenge is "White and a Number" I have used a technique I saw on one of Sara Naumann's  video's on You Tube,it is Stenciling with Gelato's..Similar to ink resist but using Gelato's.

I started by applying white gesso to a blank tag

Once dry I just scribbled some Gelato's over   and blended with my fingers

I then placed my stencil where I wanted it,taped it down and rubbed all over with a baby wipe to remove the gelato's 

I then stamped my image with Black Versafine

I Coloured the image with Distress inks, stamped and cut out the sentiment and added the die-cut heart

Items used
