December Stamp of the Month Blog Hop ~ Candlelight Garden

Welcome to the Stamp of the Month blog hop! 
If you've arrived from Gina Brandstetter's blog you're on the right path! Just keep clicking the links to continue on the hop!

Our stamp set for December is a beautiful set of 10 stamps. There is so much you can do with this set and I know this hop will inspire you!

I combined stamping in ink with watercolor painting. I stamped the jar and flowers in Archival Ink so it would be colorfast and permanent. This is what you want to stamp with when using any wet technique to color your images.When painting I wasn't careful about staying in the lines. I just swooshed on the paint and gave it a messy chic look. For the background I alternated strips of paper from the Kaleidoscope pack with strips of Shimmer Trim and Silver Foil Tape.
