All images © Stampin’ Up!®


Stampin’ Up! Supplies:

  • OTHER - Big Shot (143263), Aqua Painter (103954)



Cutting & Scoring:
  • Watercolor Paper 3-3/4” x 5”

Tips:
  • You must use watercolor paper for this, because regular cardstock won’t be able to absorb the amount of water we are going to use.
  • You must use Stazon Ink when watercoloring because Stazon Ink is water proof.
  • Clean off excess ink from aquapainter to get best results.
Instructions:
  • Stamp your image and sentiments on watercolor paper.
  • Let the images dry completely before coloring them in.
  • Color your image and with an aquapainter, carefully blend the color immediately after applying the color (work in small areas for best results)
  • Clean your aquapainter each time and let the colored area dry before switching to another color.
  • When the image is completely colored and dry, color the sky and the grass.
  • When completely dry, cut the image using the puzzle die.
  • There are many ways to package the puzzle for gift giving (e.g. the petite treat framelits, (146827) or the window box thinlits (142762)).
  • Enjoy!
