For today's post, I am starting with cards stamped with the new "Work of Art" set:

My friend and fellow demo Gina says this set is like Legos for stampers - and she is so right! Once I started playing with it, I had the best time "building" pictures. I have not seen that anyone else has done the designs I am sharing here, so for me they are my originals and I am so proud of them! I look forward to reading your comments and finding out what you think!
I have named the more abstract images in the set: "long swipe," "square swipe," and "blotch." The others are more standard: line, chevron, dot and heart.
Let's start with a quick and easy shape - a heart! I made this using the "long swipe" and the "blotch" images, and stamped-off before stamping each to lighten the color on the heart so the over-stamped heart & word can be seen. The first version is monochrome with Strawberry Slush. I went over the word "you" with Dazzling Details, and also used it to outline the little heart and the sponged edge of the white panel.

"WORK OF ART" GRAZING HORSE IN HELLO HONEY, MOSSY MEADOW AND LOST LAGOON |
To finish off my play time with this set, I did a couple of abstracts using the 2014-16 In Colors and Watercolor Paper. For both I sprayed the Watercolor Paper panel with water, however you will be able to see that I got one panel really wet (causing the images to run a lot), while the other was just lightly damp. I started with the Hello Honey "square swipe" followed by the Tangelo Twist "blotch" on both. I let the ink dry completely before stamping the sentiment.
