Wet Paper Watercoloring Technique Video Tutorial





Hi Ladies!! I decided to create a video tutorial for a stamping technique called "Wet Paper Watercoloring". It's a super easy technique that works well with large solid rubber stamps.

You can find the written version on Splitcoast Stampers Sometimes I get tired of coloring my images so this is a fun and easy way to create your own card background without having to color in the image.

With the Splitcoast Stampers version, neutral paper is used but I used watercolor paper with my tutorial.

Arrggghh! YouTube is being a butthead about the music on my videos. I attempted to add a "Hawaiian Music" to my tutorial and I got a notice from YouTube saying that I may have a problem with the upload because of the copyright issue with the music. I guess my videos are "tagged" by YouTube. I don't get it because there's a bunch of videos out there that blatantly title their videos with the songs of the same music that I had added on my videos and I don't see their videos being deleted. Sheesh, I can'tseem to put any English music on my videos. Very annoying.

The stamp image is a new stamp set that will be in the 2009 Spring Summer Catalog. The stamp set is called "Petal Pizazz". I like this stamp set. . .the flowers are really pretty.

Anyway, check out the tutorial and try this technique out!

Maria!
Like always, I love your tutorial. Question, when you initially show the stamps I can see the mounting wood blocks, however, you use acrylic blocks. How are you using the stamps to make sure they are repositionable?
Thanks,
Alex
