Use watercolors instead of ink pads! It’s fun!

Hi friends! If you are a beginner stampers the expense of buying inkpads in all different colors can be quite intimidating and expensive! Well, today I am going to show you how to stamp with watercolor paint to make this card:

I will also share frugal tips on making cards in batches like this:

To make three cards you will need:

• 3 sheets of 8.5″x11″ white cardstock
• 1 sheet of 12″x12″ patterned scrapbook paper
• 3 A2 envelopes
• Stamps (this is the Chicks set from Local King Rubber Stamps)
• Watercolor paints
• An embossing folder and label die cut and machine or cutting tool of your choice.

Watch the video to see how it’s done:

I used my new KOI watercolors but you can use any brand, even your children’s! If the paint does not want to stick you can rub the stamps with an eraser or if you are using clear stamps a viewer told me that you can ink the stamp first in clear embossing ink and then the paint will stick. I have not tried it but it will probably work! Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
