🔊 TAP FOR SOUND

Create a stunning hand-painted effect card using the two-part lamination stamp technique. The solid portion is coloured with ink pads, then sprayed with water for a watercolour finish, and the outline stamp adds precise detail for a professional, artistic result. This elegant floral design features roses in soft pink and coral tones with green foliage on a white card with black matting.

Tips from the show

• Beading on the watercolour finish is perfectly normal and adds to the realistic effect.
• You can swap the black ink for embossing powder, gold metallic ink, or silver metallic ink to suit your design preference.
• Don't worry about stamping the outline precisely—the concept works beautifully with slight variations in placement.
