“Simple stamping and bright colors always seem to be my go-to and that’s just what I created for today with the Watercolor Textures: Brushstrokes. The large brushstroke image created the perfect background for my sentiment and images to sit on!”

“I chose a very soft and subtle color palette for my Watercolor Textures:  Brushstrokes tags.  I love seeing how colors blend when stamped over one another and the images in this stamp set are such a fun way to explore color and add your own personality to!”

“I absolutely adore the watercolor background look and I enjoy it even more when it’s quick and easy to achieve!  This set is perfect for so many different techniques but my favorite is a simple watercolor look!  With just ink, water, and watercolor paper I created a colorful and festive background.  I already know that this simple but essential set is going to be a staple for me!”


“I created the watercolored texture by inking up my stamp in Tropical Teal ink, stamping it once on scrap paper, and then stamping it on a panel of white cardstock.  It gives it a soft, textural appearance and I welcomed the “imperfections” this technique left in the brushstroke images.  The card itself went through several variations until I stripped it down to just minimal details–the stamped brushstroke pattern, a simple sentiment, tiny pink hearts, and a pink bow.  It’s simple, but it’s just right!”
