Use the ink of your choice. I used Ranger Adirondack dye inks. Since I chose Arturo paper, the stamped images look like a painting. Arturo paper is similar to watercolor paper and it absorbs ink well. This card is intended to look like a piece of art hanging on a wall, so I added dimensional squares behind. You could add flair to this card by adding bling to the butterfly and flowers. You can glitter some petals, frey the paper edges and wrap a pretty bow around it. I chose to keep it clean and simple.
Start by stamping with a bold color.
add in a lighter color.
add in 2 more complimentary colors to cover the white space and cut down to create a mini canvas.
Here are some mini samples. Of course you can use different colors, combinations and different ink types to change the look.
Create custom patterned paper by combining multiple images and colors. If you stamp on smooth paper, the images will be crisper.
I hope that I have helped to show you the principles of this versatile stamp set. Thanks for joining me.
