background stamps Archives

I have been playing today with the gorgeous Watercolor World stamp set, which will be available from the 5th January 2023, and a simple colour palette.

Colours used in this project are:

Basic White

Pool Party

Old Olive

To recreate the watercolor world card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Favored Flowers dsp – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Scrap Basic White & Pool Party card

This is a large background style stamp and I find these much easier to work with if I mount them on a Stamparatus plate.

I inked the image with Old Olive ink and stamped the image down, using the Stamparatus, onto the panel of Basic White card.

This step was repeated to get a darker image. I love the dark and light areas of the stamped image.

Using a blending brush, I added Pool Party ink around the edges of the panel to suggest water.

The sentiment from the Sending Support stamp set was stamped onto scrap Basic White card and punched out with a ¾” circle punch. I added this to a Pool Party circle punched from scrap using a 1” circle punch.

The sentiment was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.
