Inspire Me Monday Creative Stamping with Kathy Racoosin

Hello Friends, My name is Kathy Racoosin from The Daily Marker. How are you? I am excited to be up on the blog today for another Inspire Me Monday post.

Today I am hoping I can get you to think out of the box with some stamping in multiples so to speak. Let me just say this is an unfinished piece and that's ok too. When you are creating something to eventually frame, it should take more time.

Don't get me wrong I am excited to finish this piece and I only wish there was more time in the day but, I would bet we all feel that way.

If you take the same stamp --- in this case, the flower and foliage from the stamp set Amaryllis Bliss -- and stamp it several times you can really create a unique piece. Stamping an image off of the paper gives your project a neat graphic look like I did here with the leaves.

My favorite "no-line" ink is the amalgam ink from Gina K. Designs. I did use the large Memory Misti to create this, but it's not necessary. Once the ink was dry, I used some Tombow watercolor markers to paint the background first.

This is a little set up I have in my family room. I was using the lily as my color inspiration.

In this photo, I am adding the first layer of color with the grey.

Often, my coloring goal is to color something white or to leave it basically white like the lily is but, I always end up adding more color! I do love that adding the brown really makes the flower pop.

Hopefully, today's post will give you another way to look at your stamps and give you permission to give yourself grace and time when coloring.

Thanks for your visit today and have a good week! 

Hugs, 

Kathy
