A project from our live show Stamping Techniques - Lamination Stamp - Heat Embossing - Watercolour Effect 22ND Dec 21 · 22/12/2021

Create a stunning watercolour-effect floral card using lamination stamps with two-part elements. The technique produces a realistic painted look by layering colours on the stamp before stamping, then misting with water to create authentic watercolour effects.
