Stamping with Watercolours
With even more ideas for this week’s paint challenge, please welcome guest artist Emma Callagher, here to encourage you to get your stamps in on the painted action!
ome is where the heart is”, they say. Whoever they are, I totally agree. I think it’s important to remind yourself every now and then, that the most important things in life are not usually physical possessions but rather, the people you share your life with. For me, wherever my lovely mum is feels like home. Mums have that way about them don’t they? I love this photo of my mum. It was taken when I was about four or five and I love the flowers and the colours all around her.
To highlight this, I pulled out the small flower stamp from the Shimelle Starshine stamp set and stamped in Versamark ink so I could white heat emboss for a resist technique. I used Kuretake Gansai watercolours over the top so the flowers stood out and I thought the colours worked really well with the photo. I think stamping gives awesome texture to a layout. I then embellished the layout using word stickers from the Starshine collection as well as other elements from my stash including stickers from the Dear Lizzy Saturday collection.

This is a beautiful layout. I had forgotten the resist technique—used to use it on stamped cards, but never considered it for a page background. Thanks for the reminder!

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
