More Fun with Art Anthology!

I just finished my post for Scrapbooker`s Paradise and I just had to quickly do a few more samples to show another fun technique with the Art Anthology product.  I did this on my `Garden Page` but the detail didn`t show in the picture.  The top right pocket actually has a wood grain effect showing on the paper under the word `Wild`.

I still have to add my journalling to this page.  I`m just going to add a pull-out tag that will fit in behind on one of these pockets.  I have to tell the real story because I don`t grow `Wild`puppies in my garden.

(My husband told me that the rabbits were eating the heads off the flowers and I discovered while I was out with the puppy taking pictures that he was the wild one taking the heads off the flowers.  It was really quite funny watching him.)

Here`s the technique that I want to share for you:

I just used some Art Anthology Velvet Paint and brushed it on my page.

 I then used a stamp and stamped immediately into the wet paint. 

 This is when I discovered that I hadn`t really cleaned my stamp last time I used it but I love how that turned out. Because of the dimension that the paint creates, the stamped portion looks debossed.

 Here is the effect that I was really after.  When I stamp quickly (with a clean stamp) into the wet `Velvet` paint, It actually removes the paint from my page.  This turned out quite well as you can see.

 Here is another experiment that I tried.  I`ve done this many times before but I wanted to try it with this product. I used my `Velvet`and just brushed onto my stamp directly and then stamped it on to my page.

Here is the effect that I get then.  I also spritz my stamp with water right after this and it also worked well.  The effect was lighter in color since I never added any more paint to the stamp.

I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial.

Later,
