Welcome to another
Stamp Crew Review Blog Hop! We share our take on a selected stamp set every first and third Monday. This week we are looking at a main catalog stamp set,
You've Got This. This set has a nice line art flower for coloring, a great background stamp, and some wonderful sentiments. If you are following the hop in order, you've arrived from
Jen Timko's blog. She always has such elegant projects!
I'm a big fan of watercoloring, and often I like to make monochromatic projects, usually in gray or sepia tones. I haven't inked up this flower image yet, so I thought coloring in gray tones would be fun.
What fun and how relaxing it was to color while watching television on New Year's Eve! I went with a clean layout from
Freshly Made Sketches #217. Don't you love how that large stamp subtly fills the background?
Stamps: You've Got This; Paper: Basic Gray, Whisper White, Watercolor paper; Ink: Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Basic Black Archival; Accessories: Pearl jewels, Aquapainter.
I thought I'd include a project designed by Lydia (
UnderstandBlue) at her pre-Convention retreat last summer, highlighting the
Water Magic Stamping technique.
Since this project is the reason I bought this stamp set, to share with my club members, we'll give this technique a try at stamp club this month.
Stamps: You've Got This; Paper: Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White, Basic Black; Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Memento Tuxedo Black; Accessories: Washi tape, Water-soaked paper towel, Sponge.
Hop on over to
Sue Plote's blog to see what she put together with this set. Her projects are always amazing!

How elegant, Heidi! I love the water coloring with the gray tones. The background stamp is the perfect setting for the flower too.
Love these.....so cool and classy......and a very neat technique!
OK, I'll bite on this new technique and try it for myself -- thanks for sharing it! Meanwhile, I love the soothing, cool, peaceful gray card.
I love the gray card - gorgeous! Thanks for sharing Lydia's technique.
The gray tones are gorgeous, Heidi! And the share is fantastic. So glad to see you at FMS and Happy New Year!
