Acrylic Block Watercolor Technique

SUPPLIES:

• stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Flowering Flourishes, Teeny Tiny Wishes
• cardstock: Whisper White. Black, White, Watercolor paper not SU
• ink: More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Basic Black, Craft White
• accessories: acrylic block, water mister, mini brads, Word Window Punch, Aqua Painter, Sponge Dauber.

Using acrylic block F 4 7/8" x 6", I added reinker droplets starting with More Mustard in the center, Pumpkin Pie in a ring around the More Mustard, then Cajun Craze in a ring around the Pumpkin Pie. (about 5 - 8 droplets of reinker per color). Misted the block with water, and with the block face up with misted reinkers on it, I placed watercolor paper on top block and pressed. Then used aqua painter and Cajun Craze reinker drops to blend the outer edges of the color that didn't quite get coverage; sponged Early Espresso around edges. 

Stamped Lovely as a Tree and Flowering Flourishes in Basic Black. Stamped JUST FOR YOU from Teeny Tiny Wishes on black using craft white ink. Punched Word Window Punch; added mini brads.

To achieve the look I've named PIGGYBACK technique, I first stamped the large Swallowtail in Not Quite Navy. I then colored selected areas with a blender pen dipped in craft white ink. Allowed the craft white to dry, then colored over it (piggybacked) with a Baja Breeze Marker. I colored some other accent areas with Calypso Coral and Pretty in Pink markers. Also colored selected areas with Uniball Signo White pen.
