I am starting a weekly posting to share with you.
So I thought, a weekly Technique Tuesday Would be the best place to start.
I made these cards with my Card Club this past month. Lots of fun and great use of Stampin' Up! Product.



Negative Spritz. 

  1.  I Started by Stampin leaf images from the "Gently Falling" Set and cutting them out. 
  2.  Lay your leaves where you want, on a Neutral background, I used Very Vanilla. You could hold in place with Dotto, but be careful this area will show later.
  3. Prepare Your Coordinating Spritz Spray, using our great Stampin Spritzer Bottles filled with water and the Re-Inker Color of your choice. I used Early Espresso. More Re-Inker = Darker Spritz Color
  4. NOW...working from STRAIGHT above, NOT at an angle or your color could spray under the edges of your leaves. Start Spritzing, lightly. Add more as desired. I wanted a lighter background so the stamped images would stand out.
  5. I also made a second Spritzer Bottle (you get TWO! YEA!) using Shimmer Paint, Champagne Mist and water. I lightly sprayed to add some glimmer. 
  6. Remove your leaves and let dry.
  7.  Stamp your leaf images in the negative space.
