First, stamp your image with Black StazOn, and outline with the Stampin' Up! marker of your choice. I stamped on watercolor paper, and I haven't really tried any other kind of card stock, so this will be my go-to choice for this technique!
Next, grab a blender pen and start swirling it around, dragging the ink from the edges. The more you swirl the further you can get the ink to travel.
Repeat with your next image and next color. How easy is that!?! Here are the colors I used for my popsicles (from left to right): Real Red & Pacific Point, Wild Wasabi, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Peach Parfait, Pretty in Pink, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Rose Red, Rich Razzleberry. All sticks & cones were colored with Crumb Cake.
Here's the finished product!
The other supplies I used on this card are:
Stamps: Sunny Fun, Fabulous Phrases
Ink: Listed above
Card Stock: Watercolor Paper, Basic Black, Sahara Sand, Neutrals dsp, Nursery Suite Specialty dsp (the pink polka dotted paper)
Accessories: Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon, Soft Subtles Designer Buttons, Linen Thread
So, are you ready to give this technique a try? Just link your creation below, we'd love to see what you come up with!

ReplyDeleteI think I need to get me some Staz-on and water colour paper!! I've done this with just Classic Black ink, and it bleeds too, so it must be the Staz-on.. Thanks!
