Stampin’ Up Wetlands Watercolor Card

Stampin Up Wetlands Watercolor Card 4Hi everyone, today’s card was inspired by one made by Vicky Hayes in England. Thanks Vicky, for the inspiration! The technique used to make this beautiful watercolor vignette is actually quite simple. I took the small B acrylic block, stamped it about 2/3 with Pool party ink, 1/3 with So Saffron ink, gave it a light spritz of water, then stamped on a square of watercolor paper. Let the block rest for a few seconds on the paper to allow the paper to absorb some of the moisture. When I lifted it off the paper, I wasn’t quite happy with the position of the pool of blue inky water. So I pressed the block down a second time right on top, and when I lifted it, the pool was a little more spread out. As it dries, the watercolor paper soaks up the ink, spreading it out, creating a one of a kind mini-masterpiece. Tip: Don’t stamp your black birds and sentiment until it’s FULLY dry. Be patient! Take a look at the video tutorial below to see how it’s done.
