Welcome! Today I'm playing along with a My Favorite Things Stamps Wednesday Sketch Challenge, WSC490. For my focal image, I pulled out an older stamp set that I have always loved, Flower Silhouettes. (My sentiment is from the Smile Maker stamp set.)
I didn't list my ink colors because I had a scad of them out on my desk--some MFT (Sour Apple, Wild Wisteria, Jellybean Green), and some Distress inks as well (Worn Lipstick, Scattered Straw, Shabby Shutters, and Seedless Preserves). I kept mixing them on the stamps and spritzing with water until I'm not exactly sure what is combined where! That's the fun of playing with a silhouette stamp set--freedom to just stamp and see what happens. Some of it is pretty, and some isn't. I just stamp enough that I'm sure I have plenty that I like, and I don't worry about the might-have-beens! When you are using a wet medium (water-based ink and a spritzer bottle of water), you need to use either watercolor paper or a cardstock that plays nicely with water. I used MFT's Primitive White cardstock here, which I have good luck with as long as I don't get too sloppy with the water.
