TODAY’S PROJECT

I wanted to feature a different way of using the Tag Buffet Stamp Set [153612]. The perception of this stamp set might be a little fuddy duddy, well this is what I thought. This being said you can create something modern and trendy. Above all you will end up loving it.

One way that I like to do a contemporary twist on a card is by bringing in bright colours. I instantly was drawn to our Bright Collection of Ink Pads [147150]. All Stampin’ Up! Classic Ink Pads are water based which means they are perfect to create a watercolour effect with. You will just need some staples like Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper [149612] & Water Painters [151298]. Having the right products makes the job so much easier.

I took the bauble from the Tag Buffet Stamp Set [153612] and heat embossed it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder [109132]. By embossing the image it creates a barrier to the ink when it is applied to the Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper [149612]. However you could do it in reverse but creates a water colour area and then stamp the image. Both equally as effective.
