Check out the details over at Linda's blog-r-uski HERE. This week it's taken from a demo video of Tim showing the color block technique. And, you can check out Tim's blog HERE.
I've done this technique before, but used darker distress inks, and it's kind of hard to stamp with that dark of a background, although.... now that I think about it... I could have used white embossing powder... oh, yeah, good idea....note to self...
where was I...
oh, yes, my tag for this Grungy Monday... went with lighter colors this time... and used one of my all time fave Tim stamps, Nature's Wonder (don't quote me on that, but I'm too lazy to look it up).....
No big embellishments this time, just simple stamping. I used a black Sakura glaze pen to lightly sketch around the butterflies, makes them stand out a little more...
And, for the Making Art! Challenge ( there's the Big MAC, get it?) over at the Everything Wendy Vecchi group, I wanted everyone to try the brushless water color technique. We didn't even have to submit a finished project, I just wanted everyone to pull out a piece of paper, ink up a stamp with different colors, spritz it, then stamp. Take a pic and upload. Easy peasy super squeezy cheesy. I chose to use water color paper, I like the texture, and it's fabulous for this technique if you don't like a lot of "bleeding".
All stamps are Wendy's. Love the script stamp. I stamped that in a permanent gray ink first. The rest are the watercolor technique. It will make it's way to a card, I'm thinkin'.
Thanks for stopping by....hope you have a creative weekend...I urge you to take 10 minutes and try both techniques, seriously, they both should take no more than 10 minutes.... just sayin'....
34 watcha thinkin'?:
I love the brushless watercolor technique. I haven't used it for a while. Thanks for the reminder! Love your tag too! I use those stamps all the time too.
I love it! I have to say I'm a sucker for script stamps myself. I figure you can never have to many. LOL
Beautiful! I have the same stamp set that you used on the first tag - now you've inspired me to get it out and use it more! I love the flourish-y border stamp at the bottom. Love your brushless watercolor tech too!
I love what you did on both pieces. Very well done. I love working on watercolor paper too.
The soft tones are beautiful w/those stamps. It's one of my fav sets also. The bottom of the flourish looks like water reflection. How cool!

More gorgeous art, my friend!
Both are beautiful pieces! I love the colors and the techniques both. Fabulous stamping, Lori!
As much as I love layering embellishments etc. layered stamping like this can't be beat! Gorgeous!
Both entries are beautiful. First the Grungy monday tag - I thought the butterflies were 3-d! Great technique to make them jump off the page. THEN, your brushless watercolor flowers are stunning. I might have to go shopping! That is one of my favorite techniques. Thanks for the reminder.
I adore straightforward stamping it really shows off the great stamps. I love this technique and such fun to do. Yours are fabulous as always Lori. Bit disappointed not seeing a Big Mac though.......as was feeling hungry. Enjoy the weekend, Annette x
LOVE this tag Lori ... I have to admit ... I now want a Big Mac though!
Love this watercolor technique, will have to try it this weekend...
Really nice projects! I love them!
Great choice of colours Lori...very easy on the eye! And the black flowers look superb...So looking forward to seeing your DT piece - looks like my weekend is taken...still working on the CFA. Sarah (at 43 on GM)
Hey Lori! Love your Grungy Monday challenge tag. So pretty with the background colors and then the green foliage with the orange butterflies and then black trellis thingy. Beautiful! And your Big MAC piece is really cool too. I love the brushless watercolor technique. So soft and "artsy". <3 Candy
Lovely pieces Lori, the brushless watercolour is very effective with the stamp you chose. Love your grungy Monday piece too. Tracy x
Your Grungy Monday tag is just fantastic, love that colour blocking - and I haven't got those stamps either!!!! I know I alredy saw your Wendy challenge piece before, but it is gorgeous too!
Lori
I really like this! The butterflies look great! I'll have to give that a try
Thanks
Both if them are just marvelous Lori. I have to try that Wendy challenge this time I think!
Beautiful pieces Lori! You have an unbelievable range of skill and vision!
Well, I did take more than 10 minutes, but I always over think it... Your pieces are both pretty and the stamping techniques are great.
Great colours and blocking. Awesome tag! Love that brushless watercolour technique! Must give that a try!
Both pieces are soooo beautiful Lori! I love how you outlined those butterflies! Have a great weekend!

oh these are brilliant hun great designs and colors on this hugs cherylx
Both are gorgeous, and I love the background stamp under the brushless watercolor technique. Too bad I thought of doing that AFTER I did my stamping. Next time.....
Hi Lori, Your Grungy Monday tag is amazing, the soft colour tones really make this stamp set pop, love the 3d effect the glaze pen gives the butterfly, need to get this stamp set now:)
These are both great Lori. I haven't done the stamping water colour technique in ages thanks for the reminder.
These are both great Lori. I haven't done the water colour technique in ages. I must do that again. Thanks for the reminder.
Love how you linked the two and I am chuckling over the Big MAC comment. Both pieces are just gorgeous. Hope others will come and play!
a gorgeous tag with a lovely colour comb background, the outline to the butterflies really makes them pop
Both are so very pretty, Lori!
Lori, these are gorgeous!!!
