Stretch Your Stamps Class: Day 1

Today I tried the Faux Watercoloring Stamping with a reverse background stamp.  I pretty much CASE'd the example from the class, and I like how it turned out.  For this technique I used the Ranger Distress Inks in Peeled Paint, Seedless Preserves, and Faded Jeans.  I used my first impression stamped image for a brighter color effect.


Card "Ingredients":
Paper:  Very Vanilla and Island Indigo Stampin Up! Cardstock
Ink:  Ranger Distress Inks in Faded Jeans, Seedless Preserves and Peeled Paint
Dies:  WPlus9 Hand-lettered Hello, Stampin' Up! Butterfly and Little Leaves
Stamp:  Ex Libris background stamp (Stampin' Up!)

Thanks for looking!
