Materials used:
Iris stamp from Stampin'Up! Love and Sympathy set
Best wishes stamp
Water-soluble wax crayons
water spritzer spray
Adirondack Archival Jet Black ink pad
watercolour card
Method:
I made an A6 card blank from the watercolour card. Using the wax crayons I coloured directly onto the stamp, spritzed it lightly with water and stamped it onto the card front. Using the black ink I then stamped the greeting onto the card as well.
The wax crayons make it easier to use a direct to stamp method and produce an effective water colour effect. Also these cards are really quick to make, great if you are in a hurry or need to make a lot for 'Thank you' cards or notelets.
I ended up making three, the two red ones are first and second impressions.
Thanks for popping in. Take care.
