Emerging Color Stamping Technique

Ok, I'll admit it...I really love stamping and the more I stamp the more I want to stamp. It's a wonderfully vicious circle. Emerging Color is one of those techniques that have some very basic and constant elements to it, but the creative license is all yours in how you present it. I'm sure if you Google or YouTube you will find a ton of tutorials and a lot of them will be very similar. Emerging Color boils down to this one word: resist. This is at its very core a resist technique. The whole trick to doing this is to remember that you will work in layers.

Smile

If you have spent any time over at Swirlydoos you know that we have a monthly challenge called Round Robin.  We sign up and are assigned to teams.  The first person creates a page and then the next person lifts that page the next week and so on.  Amber created this gorgeous page with paper folded back and her cute puppy peeking out.  She also included a dress on there too.  I was so excited to be able to lift such a GREAT page!!!  Here is my lift of her page.

This is a picture of my DD and my DN about 4 years ago.  They were dancing and singing and guess who just happened to have their camera?  Yup, me!  LOL  

I took the idea of 2 sections pulled back and made it 4.  I centered it around a Dusty Attic clock which I painted, distressed and embossed in selective areas.


I decided to throw some texture paste on here by using a Crafter's Workshop template to give me that awesome damask pattern.  
 Amber had a dress form on her page and I really love to make paper dolls.  It's a fairly new technique for me since I started making canvases, but I'm really starting to get my groove and have fun with them.
I used some of Tim's Kraft Resist paper to make this butterfly.  I covered it in Rock Candy Stickles.  

I used a really awesome sunflower die and my Cuttlebug to make these flowers.  I used the same Prima paper that I used for the skirt on my dress form.  I really had fun making those flowers. 

Thanks for stopping by!!  XO, Lisa
