Create a stunning landscape card featuring a watercolour-effect countryside scene with lush green trees and foliage. This project uses a two-part lamination stamp system to build up layers of colour and detail for a hand-painted look. The finished card is mounted on a black base with a decorative white frame, perfect for any occasion.
Prepare a piece of white watercolour card stock as your base for the project.

Select the solid portion of the lamination stamp, which is the colour part featuring the tree design. This will be used to create the landscape element of your card.

Press the inked stamp firmly onto your white card stock. Spray the stamp with water and press it onto the card stock multiple times to achieve the desired effect.

Spray the stamped image with water two to three times. The water will cause the turquoise and teal colours to blend and bleed together, creating a soft, watercolour effect.

Blot away any excess water from the watercolour areas using a tissue or paper towel. Gently dab the surface to remove moisture without disturbing the paint.
