Watercolour Fashionista Card with Sketchy Details

A project from our live show CREATE AND CRAFT - Join Helen Kirkham for the latest SBM products and demo's - broadcast 27th April · 27/04/2022

Create an elegant card featuring a fashionista stamp with a sketchy dress design. Layer a watercolour background with the outline stamp, then add loose watercolour details to the dress for a sophisticated, artistic look that celebrates the character's flowing gown.
