In this Learn to Stamp video, I show you how to create a watercolor background using the Watercolor Pencils:

I don't know about you, but I always love when I find a new way to create a background! Today's background is super easy and has lots of possibilities. Using the Watercolor Pencils, color strips of color on to a piece of Watercolor paper and then blend using the Water Painters. I do recommend that you use Watercolor paper for this technique as your paper will get fairly wet. The watercolor paper also helps the colors to blend a bit better since the water doesn't absorb into the paper before it can spread the color. Finally, I have several retiring products on this card, including the Rooted in Nature set and coordinating dies, the Stitched Shape Framelits and the Braided Linen Trim.

You can place an order on my website by clicking the Online Ordering button above. When you use hostess code MA9NMEQ2 in the month of April, I will send you my tutorial featuring six cards using the Hydrangea Haven bundle for free. If your order is over $150, please don't use the hostess code so you can keep the Stampin' Rewards for yourself. I will send you the tutorial automatically.

Happy stamping!
