July Stamping Technique Class - Watercoloring

This is a wonderful and easy way to make your cards look like an artist had painted the image!!

Stamp your image using Memento Ink or Stazon Ink, then use an Aqua Painter to apply color to your image using re-inkers.

Our first card is pretty special to me, not is it my own design BUT I had submitted this card to a card contest that my upline, Kelly Acheson, had in July and I WON!!!  I was so excited, pleased and I just couldn't wait to tell my class all about it!!
