Lamination Stamp Card with Watercolour Effect

Take a craft-coloured card blank as your base. This will form the foundation of your card.

Select your solid black lamination stamp and position it on the gold mirror card. The embossed image should show the bird design clearly on the metallic surface.

Ink up the embossed dove stamp by tapping multiple Distress Ink colours onto it. Use white, orange and pink ink pads to create a watercolour effect on the raised image.

Lightly spray the inked stamp with water to create a watercolour effect. Be careful not to over-spray, as too much water will cause the ink to run excessively.

Stamp the flower and leaf images onto your gold card using the orange ink, pressing down firmly to transfer the colour. Repeat the stamping process to build up the watercolour effect with multiple impressions.

Allow the card to dry completely. The stamped feather images in coral and pink tones need to be fully dry before proceeding to the next step. Clean your stamp thoroughly. Ink up the detailed outline stamp using black ink, ensuring even coverage across the entire stamp surface.

Position the clear detail stamp over the coloured flower on the gold card, carefully aligning it with the visible watercolour areas showing through from behind. Press down firmly to stamp the outline detail over the coloured portions.

Stamp the detailed outline portion of the flower stamp onto the card over the watercoloured image to complete the layered effect. Press firmly to ensure a clear impression.

If desired, add a sentiment stamp underneath the floral design, leaving plenty of white space around it to maintain the elegant look of the card.
