Stamp TV Mix It Up Monday - My Challenge



Today is my turn for the Stamp TV Mix It Up Monday Challenge.  The challenge?
Art/ Mixed Media

I have been really enjoying the freedom of this type of stamping!  How do you do it?  Well, let me tell what I did for my card.  I started by inking up my acrylic pad with a few different colors and than I lightly spritzed it with water (holding the spray bottle about 8 inches away.) and stamped my piece of cardstock. [For different effects, you can use water color paper or glossy paper] Once this dries (you can use a heat gun to speed up the process) start stamping!!  I used a lot of the images from GKD's Basket Buddies,  I stamped the sentiment (from Follow Your Dreams set) first (for placement) and then, randomly stamped all over the rest of the cardstock.  For some texture, I added a little netting.  Like I said, this is total freedom stamping -- no lining up, no worrying about being straight - just go for it!!
I hope you pop over to Stamp TV and join in this fun challenge!  You might be the random winner of your choice of a Gina K. Designs stamp set up to $24.95!
Thanks for stopping by~
