I really do love this stamp and can see many a use for it. I wanted my Bamboo Leaves to be in the green, but I wanted the frame in gold. So I positioned my stamp in my Mini Misti and inked up the Bamboo with the Crushed Olive and spritzed with water before stamping on the watercolour paper. I did not want blur, so the water was minimal, but I repeated it again with just one more spritze of the water. I then cleaned the stamp and with my Emboss It Pen, I coloured the letters and around the frame, and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I did miss a spot, but as my stamp was still in the Mini and I had placed my paper originally butted to the corner, I applied ink to that spot and stamped and heat embossed again. You have to love it! I die cut my image with the rectangle die and matted that with a very thin layer of olive cardstock, and finished with a few sequins. Thanks for looking today.
*Just as a footnote, you all know how wonky the paper can get after water and heat embossing. I stuck it back in my Mini and put 5 magnets on it and left it for about 30 minutes. It was perfect when I took it out - bonus!
