Watercolour Floral Card with Lamination Stamps

A project from our live show CATCH UP with Toni for a THURSDAY LAUNCH in the HTCN studio broadcast 18th Nov 21 · 18/11/2021

Create a beautiful watercolour-effect floral card using the two-part lamination stamp system. Stamp a light silhouette first, then paint in vibrant colours to create a realistic watercolour look, before adding the detailed outline layer for a professional finished piece.
