I love flowers! Though as I have mentioned in previous posts, I do not bring them indoors or get too close to them for very long because of my allergies. I have a daughter that seems to be a flower magnet, she finds the most beautiful blooms on her walks. It’s always fun to see the floral photos she posts. Whether in a garden or along a walkway, they add so much color to our day.
This year I decided to try a technique that is completely new to me. To be honest it came about because I am working to use up older supplies from my art class days.
I made Easter cards using my floral rubber stamps and airbrush paints instead of stamp ink pads. It took me a couple of tries to get the stamps to print the way that I envisioned them. After stamping the cards I used a paint brush to add the leaves and details. The rubber stamped sentiment completes the card, I am pleased with the end result. The paint allowed me more flexibility in the end result.
I especially like the vivid colors of the paint, it was easier to control the placement of the color than when using ink pads.
Snail mail hits again.
