How to make a watercolor poppy with distress stains Make a Watercolor Poppy With Distress StainsAltina Robinson 23
Start with a piece of Bristol smooth Cardstock sized to fit your stamp. Mine is 5x5. Use a stamp platform if you have one. The misti helps make this whole card a lot easier, but can be done without. Using distress stains gently tap onto stamp. Going from lightest to darkest with your colors. For the stem and leaves I put crushed olive and then peeled paint. Add your reds. I used candied apple as my base, with a little fired brick on top. Use ground espresso for the center of the flower. Stamp! With the Misti you can stamp again if you need more color Remove card from Misti, and use paintbrush and water to spread the color Heat dry or air dry Place back on misti Using ground espresso distress ink, ink stamp Stamp!! This is super pretty offset as well Use Micro glaze to seal your image Use vintage photo ink on the edges of the card, followed by ground espresso Spritz water onto the card I prefer the flicking method Dry with heat tool Distress the edges of paper All finished!! I adhered mind to a card.
