I love how easily you can get a watercolor effect with these Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Wonder Crayons. There are several different techniques on how to use this modality. For this card, lightly mist your stamp. Then quickly color directly onto your stamp with your crayons. Start with the lightest first and progress to the darker shades. Once your stamp is colored in, check to see if it’s still moist. If not, then mist lightly again. Then quickly stamp onto your watercolor paper. To get a more soft effect, also mist your watercolor paper before stamping. Voila! A beautifully soft watercolor effect via stamping ☺ Stamp your sentiment and punch out with the small oval punch. Add color to the edges by sponging and then pop it up with a dimensional. Add a little extra interest by paper piercing the corners using the SU! paper piercing template/mat. Tie your taffeta ribbon (LOVE this ribbon! It’s so easy to tie and lies flat).
Happy Stampin',
