How to Create a Watercolour Swatch Background

How to Create a Watercolour Swatch Background – Simple Birthday – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

This is an easy technique to create a fun background. You do need to use watercolour paper. Basic White cardstock will not stand up to the water and may pil. I’ve used Fluid 100 watercolour cardstock. This has two sides to it. I’ve used the smoother side.

The nature of watercolour cardstock means it will have a certain degree of texture. This allows the water to move on the page. You may not get a perfect impression the first time you stamp and I recommend using a stamping tool.

The Linked Together stencils are layering stencils. Five stencils layer together to create lovely backgrounds. This time, I’ve actually only used one layer. You don’t always need to use all the layers. This is a simple and stunning design and I love it. The above image is in Berry Burst and the one below is Pretty Peacock. Which do you prefer?

This card is a simple design. There is a cluster of embellishments around a central sentiment. I’ve used a circle from the Spotlight on Nature dies to create my base to stamp my sentiment. I’ve kept to 3 colours for each. This allows them to have a cohesiveness. The sparkle dots give the card that sparkling finishing touch.
