I do like the look of watercolouring with no harsh lines from stamping. It gives the whole image a softer appearance. There are a number of ways to achieve this look. Today I show you a simple trick using clear heat embossing.

I stamped the image using versamark ink and heat embossed using clear powder. Now when you watercolour you won’t see the lines and the watercolour will resist the heat embossing allowing you to colour with no lines. One final tip is to use Shimmery White or watercolour cardstock as it will stand up to the water much better than Basic White cardstock.

This is a very technique to accomplish and provides a lovely graduation of colour on your image. I’ve used here one of my favourite sentiment stamp sets, Biggest Wish. I’ve used this set over and over again.

This card is been made in two colour ways. The teal one is Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana and the pink one is Polished Pink and Melon Mambo. Which do you like better? For both cards, I stamped the lighter ink first and then sponged on the darker one. The stamparatus makes this very easy to do.

  • Melon Mambo Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Bermuda Bay Designer Series Paper – Two strips measuring around 3.5cm x 14.35cm

How to Use Ghost Stamping in Cardmaking

Hello, I’m back with another Focus Friday project to share with you. The focus in July is on large / background stamps. I’ve used the Stacked Stone stamp here to stamp the background in different areas. I haven’t used a block to stamp with so the stamping is imperfect and merges into the background in place. This gives an organic and distressed feel to the card.

  • Very Vanilla Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Sahara Sand Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm

This month, the Focus Friday videos have been concentrating on colouring. Today we are looking a colouring with ink pads and water painters. You can also use a reinker. I tend to add a dot of reinker to the lid of the ink pads. I pick this colour up with my water painter. Don’t touch your brush to the actual ink pad though.

Am important consideration when watercolouring is what paper to use. I use either shimmer white cardstock or our Fluid 100 watercolour paper. If you use Basic White you will find the paper will pill. You need a paper that will stand up to the amount of water you will be using. Watercolour paper will have a texture to it so it is useful to use the Stamparatus get to a crisp clean image. I used Stazon ink to stamp as it’s permanent.

This is a card we made in January Card Club. Card Club is online in my Facebook Group. If you like this project why don’t you consider joining the Club? You can find all the details here.

I love daffodils. They are so happy and yellow. I look forward to seeing them every year. This card is totally made from die-cuts. You can sponge the flowers for added interest as well. If you shape the flowers as you stick them together you will get a 3D effect.
