Technique: Water Coloring Stamps with Distress Stains

Technique: Water Coloring Stamps with Distress Stains

Distress Stains from Tim Holtz are like the other products in his Distress line in that they react with water so there are loads of different technique you can do like this water color technique from Heather Telford. She inked her rubber stamp that has a line drawing of flowers with Distress Stains and then used a water brush to pull the stain colors inward and fill in the stamped designs with color. What a clever and beautiful technique. You can find her step by step instructions as well as a video tutorial over on Splitcoast Stampers.
