Watercolour Floral Background Card with Stand Tall Stamp

A project from our live show STUDIO 3 - INDUSTRY NEWS - Join Toni Live - broadcast 21st March · 21/03/2022

Create a delicate watercolour background using the Stand Tall stamp set. Layer coloured inks with water to create a soft, blended effect, then stamp the elegant floral design in black for a striking contrast. This simple yet effective card showcases the versatility of the open fretwork stamp design.
