For today’s examples, I used the Ornate Style Stamps & Painted Poppies Stamps. Stampin’ Blends, Classic Ink Pads, Watercolor Pencils, Water Painters, Blender Pens, Shimmers & Sprays, and more!
Pull out your Stampin’ Blends or any other Alcohol Ink Markers you have on hand and blend the colors on your image. See examples of when I used Stampin’ Blends HERE. You can do this on regular Whisper White Cardstock using Memento Ink.
Stamped ink likes to bleed when you try to color it on vellum. Flip the vellum over and color the backside with Stampin’ Blends!
Apply Watercolor Pencils to any stamped image then blend with a Water Painter. You can do this on regular Whisper White Cardstock or Watercolor Paper.

Create your own Shimmer Paint coloring medium. In any Water Painter add 10 – 12 drops of Frost White Shimmer Paint, then fill with 70% (or higher) Alcohol. I suggest depressing an Acrylic Block into your ink pad to pick up the ink. This way you can use the ink off the block and not transfer any shimmer to the lid of your Ink Pad. You can do this on regular Whisper White Cardstock or Watercolor Paper.
Coloring with a dauber is so easy! Daub the Sponge Dauber into your ink pad then apply it to your stamped image. See more examples of blending with a Sponge Dauber HERE.
Ink up any stamp then spritz the stamp with water before you apply the ink to the image. This creates a beautiful water-colored effect. You can do this on regular Whisper White Cardstock or Watercolor Paper.
Ink up any stamp then spritz the stamp with Shimmer Spray before you apply the ink to the image. This creates a beautiful shimmery water-colored effect. (Create Shimmer Spray using the same ingredients for the Shimmer Water Painter above, except this time mix into a spritzer bottle) SEE Sprays Mixture Video. You can do this on regular Whisper White Cardstock or Watercolor Paper.
