Clearsnap and Stephanie Barnard Blog Hop!!

"Welcome to The Clearsnap & The Stamps of Life Blog Hop! All day today we're stamping and inking, creating and sharing. Be sure to visit everyone on the hop and leave a comment to be entered to win a fabulous prize of Stephanie Barnard's line of ColorBox Inkpads, Stephanie Barnard Sprays!, and Stephanie's new SCREENS!"

Today I will be sharing a layout that I've created using ColorBox Stephanie Barnard Premium Dye Ink Sprays and "Spiro2Stamp" Stamps of Life stamp set!!

The watercolor technique for the background of this layout was super easy to create! The look yields tons of color and dimension especially when coupled with the emboss resist technique using Top Boss Embossing Ink and Powder!

Once the embossing powder cooled, I dipped a wet paintbrush into ColorBox Premium Dye Ink Sprays in "Guava, Bubblegum, and Banana" (separately) moving the inks around until I was pleased with coverage! You can let the ink dry or use a heat tool to speed up the process!

There's little embellishment needed to complete this layout!! Did I mention, no patterned paper?! :)

I hope you've enjoyed my project today. Below you will find the blog list! Remember to leave a comment for a chance to win an awesome prize pack!! Thanks for stopping by!
