Colorful Retirement Inking Royalty Blog Hop

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s April Blog Hop!  Today’s hop is filled with projects inspired by the Stampin’ Up!’s retiring 2015-2017 In Color Collection – our tributes to Cucumber Crush, Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe and Watermelon Wonder.  What fun!  We’ve really enjoyed playing with these amazing colors over the past two years – and we are excited to share our creations with you today.  After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

I was asked by my friend Brian King to be part of this hop and I am so honored.  Can’t say enough nice things about that guy.

Here is what I created.  Not bright and bold like my usual style.  But fun and fabulous nonetheless.

I love watercolor techniques.  This is such a simple one.  Stamp your images and then use a stampin’ spritzer to move the ink out of the stamped image.  Watch the video to see all the details.

Make sure you look below the video to hop along and visit all my friends.  Supply list for the items I used can be found below the blog hop line up.
