Painted Harvest Tips and Tricks

I’ve been having a play with one of our most popular products: the Painted Harvest Stamp Set. If you’ve ever used this autumn-themed set, you know one of its most endearing attributes is that it gives you the look and feel of painting with watercolours. And, like any work of art, there are many factors that influence your final product. I wanted to take a moment to let you know that this set is designed to help give you a one-of-a-kind feel. Because this stamp set is meant to mimic the nature of watercolour, it’s particularly tricky to produce and can create varying results. As you can see in the card below both flowers are slightly different but have been stamped using the same ink’s and images.

For the perfectionists among us…..come on admit it I know I am (or those simply looking to master your craft), I thought I’d give you some tips and tricks for stampin’ like a pro!

• Stamp all layers of the image
• Make sure your ink pads are well inked
• Use nice, even pressure when stamping
• Use the Stampin’ Pierce Mat
• Keep in mind that lighter colours won’t show up as deeply as darker colours
• Play around with saturation levels (e.g., stamping full strength vs. stamping off) to get your desired look
• The stamp is not supposed to match the flowers on the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper.

Have you used the Painted Harvest Stamp set yet? What do you think have you got any other tips to share?
