Watercolour Variety

Hello to all.  Stamps are so very versatile.  
 A few floral stamps can be used to create a variety of interesting and colourful projects.


Here the new floral stamps from Stacey Barras, recently launched by Crafter's Companion on Hochanda have been coloured with Spectrum Noir Aqua markers and AquaBlend pencils.   
Different effects are created, suitable for many occassions.



The bright colours catch the eye and create delicate CAS creations.


Using the smaller stamps from two of the sets.


A simple white embossing and colouring with AquaBlend pencils creates a shabby/chic feel.



Bands of colour have been extended out from the stamped image to create a diverse and colourful background.  
Stonger colour definition is added to the stamp. 
I had loads of fun creating these colouring samples to show that your stamps can be used in many ways. 

Happy crafting fun to all!
