Hello! I’m excited today to share with you some watercolor looking cards. Now, I did not actually watercolor these, however I did do a technique where I inked up the stamp then misted it with water to get this dreamy look!

I was inspired by Nicole in her All About Layering 1 course, she liked to use colorful, inked florals with a black sentiment. I love that look, so I thought I’d give it a try with a variety of sentiments!

For this one I used a gold glitter frame to make it pop.

I decided to make a whole bunch of cards using different colors of florals. Since I had the stamps all set up in my MISTI, why not?

To make it easy on myself, I usually set up the layers in my original MISTI so I have room enough to put two stamps on at a time. Then I stamp in assembly- line style, changing up the colors as I want. That’s how I made a whole bunch of these floral panels at the same sitting.

For the next cards, I went with a bold sentiment….just for fun! I really love how they turned out, and I’m always in need of thank you cards.

I just turned these onto the side/horizontal layout to fit that big thanks word on the card panel. For large sentiments like this I am sure to use my MISTI (or stamp positioner) just in case I need to stamp it twice to get that dark, crisp black sentiment. Love it! You can see I experimented with a lot of green inks on these…still need to find my perfect green combo.

This color combo was inspired by the current July Altenew Challenge!

The inking may not be perfect, but that is some of the joy of watercolor stamping (using a spritz of water)! Keep in mind that if you use Distress Oxides for this, they dry with a more chalky look (as one of those purple colors above…also on the yellow and dark blue flower in the very first picture).
