MIM - Stamping with Watercolor Mediums

Thought I would play along with this week's Make it Monday.  The challenge was to stamp with watercolor mediums.  The sample card involved gelatos, and I haven't gotten mine out in a while, so I thought this would be fun to try.

I don't have have any solid PTI stamps, but this bird from Happy Trails is almost solid.

I used two colors, blue and pink, and waterbrush to created the stamped images.  A little gelato goes a long way.  With the exception of the first bird I never reapplied gesso....just added a bit more water and stamped it again.  I liked the look of movement this gives, kind of like generational stamping, so I reapplied the gesso and stamped one more time over that first bird.

The sentiment is also from the Happy Trails set, and I added a vellum mat to soften the transition to the black cardstock.

That's all for today.  Working on a few other projects I hope to be able t share soon.
