Luminarte and Hero Arts - Day three!

Another fabulous day filled with inspiration! Jennifer created an instructional video showing her creative process with our Luminarte Twinkling H20's and Hero Arts Stamps!

 

Jennifer says .."I have never found a product more fun to use for stamped backgrounds than Twinkling H2Os. Just paint the stamp, spritz and stamp. Then repeat and repeat, with each image getting softer. I LOVE this look. So fast, simple and classy. These leaves were perfect for this technique!"

Jennifer says...."I have always wanted to be able to watercolor like a true artist. However, I just don't have that talent. But by stamping WITH Twinkling H2Os and water, I am able to fake it! And if I don't get great results with the stamping alone, I can just fix it by painting it in. Love the look."
