Happy Birthday Card: Stamping with Water Technique

Today’s share is the birthday version of a Christmas card I shared a few weeks ago, featuring both the Tasteful Textures Bundle and the Stamping with Water technique:

This was actually such a fun card to teach! It’s like a little magic to stamp with water and watch the image appear . . .

Steps to stamp with water:

1. saturate your cardstock with ink, usually by sponging it on
2. spritz your stamp with water
3. Stamp firmly
4. Let dry to get the full effect

I’ve used the Tasteful Textures bundle for both the flower stamps and the flower “cut away” dies to create this window background.  I just love the colour combination here, too, of Coastal Cabana and Poppy Parade. I don’t often like bright cards, but sometimes it really is just the thing!

I hope you give this card and/or this technique a try!

New items added to the Clearance Rack this morning! Check it out before they’re gone!
