Stately Flowers Poppy - Watercolor stamping

I had a lot of fun with this kind of watercolor stamping technique.  I used my Tombow water-based markers to color on my rubber stamp, then just stamped it onto wet watercolor paper.  I experimented with the amount of water and I liked the look with less water, then just applied a touch more coral with a wet brush.


I went ahead and aged the image with tan and brown Distress inks and a sponge.  The matte is kraft cardstock that has also been distresed with the same colors to match.  

I used a background stamp to create the card base with Distress ink over kraft cardstock.  



Supplies:

Gina K Designs Stately Flowers 1 stamp set
Tombow markers 249, 905, 845
Versafine Ink Onyx Black
Distress Inks Frayed Burlap, Tea Dye, Antique Linen
Hero Arts Woodgrain background stamp

This project will be entered into the following challenge(s):
