Water Stamping Card

Created by Stacey Cogswell

Do you see the technique called Water Stamping on Splitcoaststampers on August 8th?  I did and I just had to try it with my stamp set called Flowering Flourishes.  The tutorial on Splitcoaststampers used a wet paper towel as the ink pad, but I found that if I misted the stamp with water before stamping that the image came through better.  As always, the card looks so much better in person.  Someday I hope to have a photo booth in my craft room, until then I'll keep trying to get a better pictures.  For this card used the stamp sets Lacy & Lovely (large flower) and Pursuit of Happiness (greeting)   I even stamped the inside of the card.   Check out the tutorial on Splitcoaststampers and then give it a try......I'd love to see what you create!

    1. I sponged white cardstock with ink in two colors and then spritz the stamp with water before stamping. It's pretty cool to watch the water image appear.
