Create a beautiful floral card featuring pink watercolour-effect flowers with detailed black outlines and green foliage. This project uses a clever two-part lamination stamp system to achieve a realistic painted look without any painting skills required. The solid stamp holds vibrant coloured ink whilst the outline stamp adds crisp black detail for a professional finish.

Tips from the show

• The waterproof black ink used for detail won't move when you add water, so you can layer safely.
• Don't worry if colours blend into each other—this creates a realistic watercolour effect.
