Rub-On Watercoloring - Handmade Card

Hello!  In my online stamping group, there is a challenge this week to try a technique called Rub-On Watercoloring.  This isn’t something I had tried before.  The video is here


If you aren’t sure if you want to watch the video, I will try to explain the process.  You stamp your image, and then use the clear index sheet from the stamp set to color your watercolor onto, then when you line it up, you can get the watercolor just in the right spot.  I used pink, peach, yellow for the flowers, and two colors of green for the leaves.

I also added some glitter glue to the centers, and I used a marker to fill in the berries.  This was really fun to try!  My stamp sets are both from Close to My Heart.  


I’d love to enter the Flower Challenge - Anything Goes and Double D Challenge - Spring.  



Thank you for visiting and keep on stamping!
