Technique Tuesday - Acrylic Block Watercolour



Welcome to another edition of Technique Tuesday - today I am playing with the acrylic block technique. 


My design was inspired by playing along to a few challenges:

Addicted to CAS - code word purple for my colour palette of Blackberry Bliss, Gorgeous Grape & Highland Heather 
CAS on Friday challenge to create a Sea theme. #342


Almost Clean & Simple CAS card challenge to #saturdaychallenge12 Geometric Shape - I used a rectangle block.


Krafty Chicks challenge ‘birthday’ for my sentiment choice.


I’m getting inky with Scenic Coast Dies, Words of Beauty stamps, BlackBerry Bliss, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather inks and pearls coloured with BlackBerry Bliss blends.


Technique Steps are easy
Add ink to block with either pad or water based marker in ombré pattern of lightest to darkest and spritz with water and stamp to paper.

Love the effect of watercolour block stampin - adds dimension while keeping layers simple. 


Happy Stampin’
