Please leave a comment on the blogs before February 9th at midnight PST and 3 winners will be announced on February 10th from the different blogs.

Today I am featuring a card I designed using the new Inventor 8 Stampers Anonymous stamps. I always love the grunge looks I see with these stamps but wanted to see if they would work in my favorite colorway, rainbow.

Today I am featuring a card I designed using the new Inventor 8 Stampers Anonymous stamps. I always love the grunge looks I see with these stamps but wanted to see if they would work in my favorite colorway, rainbow.
To create this card, I stamped the fan stamp onto Distress Watercolor Cardstock and embossed it with clear embossing powder. The detail on this stamp is just beautiful. I watercolored each of the inside panels of the fan with Distress Ink that I had put down on my glass mat and picked up with a Detailer water brush.
Once the colors were dry in the center of the fan, I stamped it again on some masking paper, and masked off the circular portion of the fan. When that was done I went over the entire panel with Pumice Stone Distress Ink and gave the card a light spritz with my Distress Sprayer. The masking keeps the colors on the inside nice and bright. I also took a paintbrush and VERY CAREFULLY flicked the corresponding color of ink around the outside of the fan so it looked like it was blowing the color right out. The colors look super vivid on top of that Pumice Stone background!
When that was dry (and I think the most important step is patience and letting the panel dry fully before messing with it) I removed the mask paper. I love the results of this card and giving it that unexpected twist of rainbow! I hope you have enjoyed this card, and the full list of supplies used is at the bottom of the post. The next stop on the hop is the absolutely amazing Debi Adams ...please hop on over as I am sure you are in for a treat!

Posted by: Anne Dwyer | February 06, 2019 at 04:36 AM
I love how you used colour to just make the stamp pop with the watercolouring and the spattering. Thank you for sharing this great card.

Posted by: Rhonda H | February 06, 2019 at 08:39 AM
You have SUCH a knack for color, Cheiron! This is so clever and fun, and I think a really different and unexpected way to use those stamps. Love the rainbow, and how smart to add the corresponding color flicks around the fan, too. Really does look like the colors are being flung!
Posted by: Audrey Pettit | February 06, 2019 at 08:40 AM
A rainbow look with the vintage stamps? Awesome!
Posted by: Pamela Palm | February 06, 2019 at 08:46 AM
I never would have thought to use bright colors, but what a great idea! It's like a whole new fresh look for the Inventor series. And as someone who works at the US Patent & Trademark Office, I am partial to the inventor series.

Love these stamps as well, but bringing your rainbow of color elevated the design to a new level! Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Posted by: KimC | February 06, 2019 at 12:18 PM
Vicki in MD - beautiful work - I love the rainbow you have created (as many others have already mentioned) and thanks for the reminder to let this dry completely before doing more with it. Something this impatient crafter often overlooks.

First I have to say I LOVE your name...my cousin's name is the same, but spelled Sheronne. I am loving the different take on this, no grunge, just bright and colorful. Thank you for making me think outside the box (of crayons, so to speak).

I’m always amazed at how wonderfully the bright colors can coexist with Tim’s distressed vibe. I tend to stay on the muted side of things but after seeing this, I’m going for it!

I watched Tim on You Tube as he shared a glimpse of the various projects. All I could say was “Wow”! Your piece is gorgeous.
Posted by: Barbara Bass | February 06, 2019 at 06:59 PM
I keep forgetting about flicking color over the edges. And a good idea to mask off the center to preserve the vibrancy if the color. Thanks for sharing.
Posted by: Joey Barnes | February 06, 2019 at 07:38 PM
I’ll have to pick up some distress watercolor paper, makes the colors really pop!
Posted by: Amanda Fredregill | February 06, 2019 at 08:17 PM
Very cool
Posted by: Diane | February 06, 2019 at 08:20 PM

Posted by: Gretchen McDowell | February 06, 2019 at 10:23 PM
Love the look of the color splatter - especially "coming off" the fan. I need to get brave and try it. :)
Posted by: pam | February 06, 2019 at 11:18 PM
I felt happy colors spritzing off the page and sprinkling into my day. Thank you Cheiron!
