Step by step

1. 

   Stamp the wine bottle outline stamp onto white cardstock using a chip sapphire ink pad.

   ▶ watch this step (31:00)
2. 

   Spray the inked stamp with water to create a watercolour bleed effect on the pink gown image.

   ▶ watch this step (31:15)
3. 

   Allow the stamped image to dry completely before proceeding to the next step. This ensures the ink sets properly and prevents smudging.

   ▶ watch this step (31:45)
4. 

   Using black ink, stamp the solid colour portion of the wine bottle stamp over the watercoloured image. This will add definition and detail to the bottle and glass design.

   ▶ watch this step (32:00)
5. 

   Stamp the sentiment 'drink drank drunk' onto the wine bottle and glass area using black ink. Add glossy accents over the stamped design to create a shiny, dimensional effect.

   ▶ watch this step (33:00)
6. 

   Mat the stamped wine bottle design onto black cardstock. Position the white stamped panel centrally on the black card to create a border frame.

   ▶ watch this step (33:45)
7. 

   Fussy cut a floral element from a previous demonstration to use as an embellishment for your card.

   ▶ watch this step (35:00)
8. 

   Adhere the fussy-cut floral element to the bottom corner of the card using foam pads for dimension. Position it to complement the wine bottle design.

   ▶ watch this step (36:15)
9. 

   Mount the matted design onto your card base. Position it centrally and secure in place with adhesive.

   ▶ watch this step (37:00)

Tips from the show

• You do not need to tell anyone you used a stamp; let people think you painted it yourself
• If you don't like the colour mix, bin the card and start again rather than waste time trying to fix it
• You can use watercolour pens directly on the stamp on the page and spray with water for different colour effects
