Are you looking for a fun stamping technique to use for cardmaking?


Well, I've got one for you.


It's a simple stamping technique. Instead of using the usual ink pads, I'm going to show you how to use spray inks instead. It leaves a vibrant, watercolor-like result.


Check it out...

Supplies needed:



Grab any of the ink sprays you've got. As you can see, I even used some tie-dye ink that came in a spray bottle. I've also made my own ink sprays using liquid watercolors, alcohol ink, paint, etc.

If you love using spray ink check out spray ink and gesso and spray ink on foil background techniques.




For this technique, start by squirting one of your inks on a silicone mat or anything that will keep the ink floating on top.

The ink spray I used here was Dylusions Shimmer Spray that had some mica powder in it so it looks all metallic. Cool huh?

Keep on adding different colors with different stamps.

Isn't that neat? I love how it's not uniform and how the colors blend together a little bit.

I really enjoyed seeing the creative techniques with stamping and ink spray in this post. Managing a variety of art supplies can get chaotic quickly, especially when experimenting with different inks and stamps. One approach I’ve found helpful is having an asset tracking system in place—it allows me to know exactly what materials I have, where they are, and what needs restocking. Keeping everything organized not only saves time but also inspires more creative freedom because I’m not worrying about lost supplies. For anyone juggling multiple art tools and projects, this kind of tracking makes the process much smoother and more enjoyable.

I love experimenting with ink sprays — the colors shimmer, creating a watercolor effect! But recently, after a painting session, I accidentally spilled some ink on the table. Luckily, I remembered about professional surface cleaning services, such as those offered at https://qualityrestoration.com/

They even work on stains from paint, varnish, or water. It's great to know that there are specialists who can save the workshop after creative chaos.

Now, before each experiment with sprays, I feel complete freedom — I know that even if ink gets on the floor or furniture, it can be removed without damaging the materials. This gives me an amazing sense of calm and allows me to be more daring in my work. Now I experiment with new spraying techniques, combine colors, and am not afraid to create real creative chaos!

After reading this text, I felt very inspired! It is interesting to see how simple changes in technique can radically affect the result. Using spray ink instead of the usual pads really gives the effect of a watercolor painting, and this opens up many opportunities for creativity. I like that the author shows a non-standard approach and inspires experimentation even in such small things as postcards. Moreover, in today's world, it is important to combine creativity with the ability to establish professional connections and scale your ideas.
