Step by step

1. 

   Select the solid portion of your lamination stamp and ink it with multiple colours. Apply two shades of blue, a touch of purple, and green to different areas of the stamp using your ink pads.

   ▶ watch this step (59:30)
2. Spray the inked stamp with water several times to blend the colours together. The water will help the ink colours merge and create a watercolour effect. ▶ watch 1:01:45
3. 

   Press the stamp firmly onto the vellum, holding it in place to allow the watercolour effect to develop as the inks blend together.

   ▶ watch this step (1:03:15)
4. 

   Allow the stamped vellum to dry completely before proceeding. The black stamped images on the vellum need to be fully dry to prevent smudging.

   ▶ watch this step (1:04:00)
5. 

   Select the detail portion of the lamination stamp and ink it with black ink using your ink pad.

   ▶ watch this step (1:04:30)
6. 

   Stamp the detail layer from the Eureka 101 stamp set on top of the dried watercolour floral image. Allow the stamped image to sit slightly off-register for a sketchy, artistic effect.

   ▶ watch this step (1:05:45)
7. 

   Cut a strip of vellum. Using a sticky ink pad, stamp the long sentiment from the set onto the vellum strip.

   ▶ watch this step (1:06:45)
8. 

   Apply embossing powder to the stamped sentiment on the vellum. Heat-set the powder with a heat gun using quick on-and-off motions to avoid warping the vellum.

   ▶ watch this step (1:07:45)
9. 

   Cut the embossed vellum strip to size using a ruler and trimmer. Adhere the vellum strip down the side of your watercoloured panel using tape.

   ▶ watch this step (1:10:45)
10. 

    Mount the combined vellum and watercolour panel onto black cardstock, creating a slim black border down the sides.

    ▶ watch this step (1:12:00)
11. 

    Adhere the completed framed panel to a black card blank to finish your card.

    ▶ watch this step (1:13:30)

Tips from the show

• Get your heat gun hot before applying it to vellum to avoid burns and warping - use quick on-and-off motions rather than holding it in one place.
• Do not attempt to line up the detail stamp perfectly with the watercolour layer; the slight offset is intentional and creates the artistic, sketchy effect.
• Spray the inked stamp with water to blend the colours together, creating a true watercolour effect as you press it down.
