The New Spiral Dye Background stamp

This weekend I spent the day with the Spiral Dye stamp. This stamp had intrigued me when it first came out and I wondered if it would be difficult to use, but no, it's not. I had a lot of fun coming up with different ways to use the stamp.
The stamp is large, and so I needed the largest clear black to use it. Luckily I had one, but maybe a better option if the large block is too big for you, would be to use the large stamp with the Stamparatus.

The first card that I made was this Flower Power card. I added flowers from the Pierced Blooms dies. The colors here are Mango Melody and Magenta Madness. Super easy stamping but I think a very fun effect. I first stamped in Mango Melody, then turn the cardstock 180 degrees and stamp again in Magenta Madness. By turning the stamp 180 degrees, you get the variation in the spiral image so that the lines don't match up too much.

For this next card I used Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Pacific Point. I added the ink with markers and stamped all at one time.

The sentiment is from the Sending You Thoughts stamp set, embossed in Black and punched out with the Postage Punch.

I made that same card again, only this time I spritzed the stamp with water, then stamped onto Watercolor Paper. I love how the image blurred out a bit, really giving the Tie Dye look.

I thought I would do another color combination so this time I used Polished Pink, Pale Papaya and Fresh Freesia. I added the color with Sponges this time, just to try out other ways. I think the sponges gave me more control, so I think that's how I will do it going forward.

The sentiment is from the Sending You Thoughts stamp set, punched out with the Label Me Pretty punch. I added some Pale Papaya woven ribbon for more texture.

Here is a video showing how to make these cards.
