CARD HIGHLIGHTS


CREATING THE WATERCOLOR FLORALS

These tips are easy to follow regardless of your crafting experience level:

  1. Misting the inked stamp with water - After inking a stamp with the selected cube, use the Spritzer to mist the stamp 1-2 times before stamping onto watercolor cardstock

  2. Muddling the inked stamp surface with your finger - For some of the larger flowers, stems or leaves, after inking the stamp, run your fingertip in a random pattern over the surface of the stamp to create textures and uneven color when stamped

  3. Layering inks to create different colors or tones in the image - Choose the lightest color to ink all over the stamp in the first layer and then stamp onto cardstock; use the edge of the ink cube to add patches of ink in select ares for the second layer

Colorful cut-out flowers with blue, yellow, and green hues on a grey grid background. The floral arrangement creates a vibrant, lively mood.

CREATING THE BACKGROUND

Using the cubes, ink your craft surface, spritz with water and dab the smooth side of a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of watercolor cardstock in the Marine and Violet inks.


Cut the doily in half and splatter with the Pawsitively Perfect Silver Medium and dry on low with a heat tool before adhering to the smooshed watercolor background.
