Yes, April, what a great idea to use the Twinkling H2Os!  Such a cute card too!

I made a Valentine.  This technique worked better than I thought it would!  I did play around with it a bit and I'm pretty sure I did a little light spritzing before stamping.  I stamped it almost 2 weeks ago and finally photographed today.

Valentine

I added a picture of a tag I made similarly, in the attachments.

I tried it myself a couple nights ago and I hated my results, so last night I watched the video, and I am thinking all my background stamps are to thin lined, so I am going to go through my stamps the next chance I get and see which ones my work better for this, now looking back I see it doesn't need to be a background stamp anyway, man where do I get these thoughts in my head, I certainly need to read better or something, YIKES!

Cindi, your project turned out really well!  And cool that you were able to make a tag too.  Thanks for playing along.

Connie, no problem, I am sure you have something in your stash that would work well for the technique, and if only part of it looks good, maybe you can cut it up and use it differently.

I plan on trying some more of this technique too!

Here is my second attempt, I used watercolor paints from Hobby Lobby, it worked a lot better on a more solid stamp, I stamped it onto designer paper, it warped the paper pretty bad.  Where the green and blue meet, the green kind of blobbed up so I took my paint brush and tried to pull it down but I think I may have messed up the water color feel to it.  I wasn't very happy with it but my hubby thinks it is one of my coolest cards, go figure.

Connie, I really like it and so unexpected to stamp on the patterned paper!

Thanks for playing!

I was determined to use this new stamp I had got recently! I tried a couple of times with crayola watercolor and with my gansai tambi pallete. I've done this before wth kids watercolors but I think with this stamp I got it a bit too watery. Every result was just splotchy. This was fun to do and I think I would like to invest in an inexpensive watercolor pallete to use more with this technique. The gansai tambi paints are super thick and harder to move but I do like using them.
Here is my card. I cut this one kinda close'!

LeighAnn, I love your result!  Thanks for sharing how that brand of paints worked for this. I think it is interesting that your prefer the inexpensive stuff for this technique.  Thanks for playing!

I have a panel stamped but haven't finished up the card.  I am at a loss as to how to fix it up! Might have to just frame it and call it a day!

There is still today and tomorrow left to play along, if you find the time!

Here is a card I made combining with the Christmas all year. I wanted to see if a sentiment would work and I think it was not so shabby.

I was able to try my hand at a couple more cards since I combined them with Cindi's challenge. I tried to do one by making background paper with this image but after dropping my stamp twice, I gave up!

I used the gansai tambi watercolors and a super small detail brush with this.
Here's my cards. I still need to check out the gallery for others cards, I'm super behind! Thanks Heidi for the fun challenge :-)

Those are great cards, LeighAnn, and I am impressed that you gave stamping with paint on kraft a try.  I left praise in the gallery.  So glad you had some crafty time today and thanks for playing along!

Thanks for the challenge Heidi, I enjoyed it!  Do you know ... did you or anyone else try this on clear stamps?  or just red rubber?  I debated it on my clear holly stamp last night but it was late and I decided to just go with ink.

You know, I don't think I did try clear stamps.  I should do that!

I really enjoyed this technique and want to try it out again On kraft.

I didn't try clear either. I imagine it would be pretty smudgy?
