Tasteful Touches Sponged & Waterlifted

[@geannjoe]

Loved your color combinations

[@barbaracarson9636]

This technique is always so elegant. I use it quite often. I never get tired of these kind of cards. Barb from Anaheim

[@pamelamartinez2678]

Looks like raindrops.😊

[@DavidSmith-ff8vz]

Very bold and bright. Lovely cards. I enjoy your lives so much.

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

thanks so much John. 😘

[@sherrieash9852]

I love the night one too. Moonlight is so peaceful and relaxing let alone beautiful.

[@cocovilla942]

If you hold the paper with a clothespin when embossing, you don’t have to worry about burning your fingers. Also, if you press the painters tape against your skin, like on the back of your hand, it picks up oils from your skin. It still holds down well, but doesn’t tear the card stock when removing. This also works with masking tape. I learned this when I was making iris folding cards.

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Hehehe...true. I never use anything to hold what I'm embossing unless it's too small. Then I use a wooden skewer and emboss it on my foil cover chipboard. I think I need to get some of that "purple tape" that everyone is raving about.. And yes...putting painters tape against your jeans helps too. Thanks for sharing for others to read. :)

[@jo-annrattray1531]

Absolutely beautiful cards. Worth watching several times so I can get brave enough to try it out.

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

You can do it! 👍🏼😃

[@valeriepippy7540]

I use a small bull clip at the end of the sponge with a label for the colour. It helps me hold the piece of sponge better. Great video Rachel.

[@valeriepippy7540]

I remove the silver clips once in place.

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Great idea!! Thanks for sharing. BTW, you are one of my winners! I drew your name today. Can you get in touch with me via email so I can get your contact information and send you your prize? My email is [e-mail]

[@BoDee92]

All beautiful cards Rachel, hard to pick a favourite.. thanks for the tutorial.. :)

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Glad you like them Henny! Thanks.

[@DebadooCreates]

Those are so so pretty! I really love that stamp set. My favorites are the blue one that you did in the video and the one with the purple. I'm sort of slightly, okay a lot, obsessed with purple. LOL dipping a paintbrush in water and then just tap it with your finger definitely works better and also once you get the droplets on there if you'll lay the paper towel down flat on the cardstock it'll help lift the ink. Also with the painters tape or even the like the purple tape but slower tack if you'll stick it on your arm first or on your clothes first that will lessen the stickiness of it. It'll still be sticky enough for your the masking but not so sticky that it tears your paper so much. He cracked me up when you got ink on your finger. I'm completely the opposite my motto is if you don't have ink on your fingers and glitter on your nose you did not have nearly enough fun Stampin LOL

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Thanks Debadoo. Yes...My water painter didn't have enough water on it. And of course it worked EVERY TIME I did it before the live,...just not during. Normally I use a tooth brush, but I SOoo wanted to show how awesome those water painters are. LOL And I hear that purple tape is best. I am in my bubble of SU products and forget to research what else is out there. I have to invest.

[@DebadooCreates]

@@stampyourartoutwithrachel I actually really respect that you use mostly SU products. I'm a naughty demo I Branch out way too much LOL. I totally get it working every time but live.

[@karenmilner2702]

Econ’s week in a row I’ve had to catch your replay! I can’t wait to learn this technique!

[@karenmilner2702]

I have been wanting to try this a few months. Today is the day!

[@lisawurth7643]

I love the idea of the strip of colour and the cards are amazing designs

[@mariannerudisel1050]

Watching replay. I like this technique. Thanks for sharing..

[@dolorestrickey7480]

What a clever idea to lift with water!! I look forward to seeing more of your ideas!!! Thank you so much from a new crafter!

[@hollylowery5148]

Water lifting sounds very interesting. I can't wait to see this one.

[@rev.louisem.hamblin2964]

When working with watercolor paper what I do is hit it with the heat gun a little bit section by section and pull it away at an angle. It works perfectly every time! Just wanted to pass on this tip for everybody and also for you Rachel. BTW I love how you make cards... you have helped inspire me in my own card making. So thank you for all the lovely creations!

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Aww...thanks!

[@patriciaboyce5268]

I like everything you do. Started watching your Paper Pumpkin videos and now watch all of your videos.

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

I couldn't make the live, so watched the replay. What beautiful cards and what a great technique! I can't wait to try this. Your colors are also so bright and bold...lovely combinations. TYFS your talent. I always enjoy your videos.

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Thank you Deborah!

[@CaroleSklenar]

These are stunning. Simple techniques, but so very effective.

[@sherriw7297]

Hi Rachel, Sherri here from Connecticut. Looking forward to learning a new technique.

[@susanpulver3766]

Very Very nice. I am watching the re-play. Had to try and sleep when you were live. Hope to see you next time. Thank you ! Sue

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Thank you Debbie!

[@lyndablankfeld5155]

What a beautiful technique

[@bobwendt6722]

The water color texture really added interest to the card.

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Thanks!

[@patriciawalsh1894]

Thank you Rachel! Your tutorials are so informative and you are so organized!

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Aww...thanks Patricia!

[@BflyMom_212]

Love these types of techniques Rachel! I love making My own backgrounds and doing emboss resist techniques and water drops too. I have found that after you do the splash of water, you blot it with a tissue and you'll see the water spots better. I'm just 8 months into card making and I love doing techniques vs using DSP. I don't know what it is about DSP but it gets to busy for Me. I have a ton of DSP I bought and it isn't getting used. I do love to add gold or silver layers and some of the same to add interest to My Card's. And, always have to add Bling!! Thanks so much for sharing this technique and how you sectioned off the sides of the Card. I always use the Shimmer white cardstock when doing ink blending, it really does help with the blending. Hope to catch you next week for the live! Love Both Card's!!

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Thanks BevAnn. I appreciate you sharing. (I had success with the tapping of the Water Painter right after the live stopped. LOL) 😊

[@tanacroteau5277]

I just love this technique you showed tonight. I will definitely give it a try!

[@barbarahayes2268]

Hi Rachel - watching your replay on Wednesday evening.

[@karibau2912]

That looks like so much fun! The colors are radiant! I will try this soon with the flower stamps I have. It won’t be as gorgeous as yours but it looks like so much fun!

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

Hope you are doing well my friend!

[@alisonminer2454]

The Closed Captioning is working. I don't 'need' it, but I know some people have been asking. Good work!

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

After the live...yes. But during the live is when we are not seeing it.

[@deirdrecroalthestampingmus4104]

What great techniques. The finished cards were lovely. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Rachel! Using a drop of glycerin on a paper plate, etc. will help to add seamless blending. Less is better on the glycerin.

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

In one of your previous videos you recommend Lava soap for removing ink from our crafty hands. It works wonderfully! Now my boss can’t joke on Mondays that he knows what I did over the weekend because of the ink on my fingers that I just couldn’t get off.

[@stampyourartoutwithrachel]

We had lava soap in our house when I was growing up...that stuff works well! I agree.

[@ritag9612]

I like the technique for doing backgrounds. Heat embossing is a favorite of mine. If card stock water warps, lightly spray opposite side and card stock should flatten out. Happy stamping.

[@karenemery4906]

Was excited to see you on this on this morning. Can’t wait.

[@sylaniaoliver6451]

Your cards look beautiful, I will try this using orange and yellow. The bright colors make me smile Thank You so much.
