Watercolour Painted Background with Stamped Florals

Spray your card base with water to dampen it thoroughly.

Pick up watercolour paint on a wet brush and dab it onto the damp card, keeping colours apart initially.

Add a second colour (such as pink) to a different area of the card.

Add a third colour (such as yellow) and spray more water to encourage the colours to blend and move together.

Use a heat tool to dry the background quickly, or allow it to air dry for a softer effect.

Stamp the large sunflower and blooms stamp onto the dried background using a dark ink pad.

Colour in selected areas of the stamped image with watercolours if desired.

Use a dauber and dark ink pad to add shading around the edges of the stamped design.

Mount the finished background onto coloured card to frame it and enhance the colours.
