Nautical Fish Watercolour Card

Space your fish stamps down a piece of watercolour card stock.

Stamp the fish using black ink to create clear, detailed impressions.

Apply a water stripe over the stamped fish to make the paper more absorbent.

Drag light blue watercolour ink across the paper from the edge, building colour gradually.

Swap to red watercolour ink and drag across alternate fish to create a nautical colour scheme.

Use a heat gun to dry the watercolour.

Add blue splatter details across the background to break up the white space.

Add red splatter details to further enhance the nautical theme.

Dry the card again with the heat gun.

Mount the watercoloured panel onto black card as a matte layer.

Mount the black layer onto a white card base.

Create a sentiment strip by stamping 'shallow' repeatedly on a strip of white card.

Mount the sentiment strip onto black card and attach to the card front.
