Hi all! I decided to do a little comparison today with a lovely stamp that found it's way into my stash yesterday. It's one of
Rubbernecker's watercolor stamps and it's whole purpose is to create beautiful imperfection. Since this post will be image heavy - I'll try to keep the chatter to a minimum. Let's start with the image from
Rubbernecker.
If you click on the link, there's a pretty great demo video available. I personally love this set and was super excited to work with it! While the demo tape uses
distress inks and
markers to color the images, I thought I'd give
distress paints a try as well. In each picture, the
distress paint image is on the left and the
distress ink/
marker image is on the right. The final image is colored with
distress ink and
markers.
A few notes - I really prefer the
distress inks and
markers for this image with one exception. I really liked the vibrancy of the first image on the left. I think the pinks are much more vibrant. The blue image on the right is my hands down favorite of them all. I think I might have enjoyed the painted version more if I could have done a better job of lining up the second stamp and would have had the exact same colors. Sadly,
distress paint is not available in
tumbled glass or
peacock feathers so I was working with a pretty different color palette. I might give white a try as the base on my next run. If you want a better look at each sample, click on the picture.
I absolutely can't wait to do more with these sets and play around with a few more solid/brush stroke stamps I have in my stash. I also have a great idea for some existing flower stamps I have that are outlines. I'll keep you posted on how things progress. I'll also start providing full supply information when I've got a better handle on things. I hope everyone's been doing really well. Until then...
