Rainbow Brushstrokes

Today I wanted to share a little technique I learned in one of the online classes I took a few months ago.  We were taught to use white chalk ink as a base then re-stamp image with the color of your choice.  The result is a more dimensional image that I really like!


I loved how the brushstrokes turned out using a rainbow of colors.  The brushstroke and sentiment is from CAS-ual Fridays stamp set Breath.  I chose inspiration from the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge incorporating polka dots, kraft and punches/dies.  I made that strip of polka dots simply using 2 different sized hole punches and randomly punching away!

The colors and brushstrokes were inspired by this Pinspired picture...


And the sketch is following CAS(E) this Sketch

Hope everyone's weekend is off to a great start!

  2. What a great technique, Niki, thanks for sharing it! Those colors do really pop on the kraft much more than they normally would. So glad you joined the big festivities at CAS-ual Fridays!
