Water-coloring can happen on regular card stock but will have a better image using the Watercolor Paper.  Here the image will have a damp, slightly blurred image when you ink the stamp with the Sahara Sand ink pad then (holding it away from your crafting area) lightly spritz it with water using our fine mist Stampin' Spritzer.

Your spritzed image will take on that softened, vintage hand-stamped look.

Stamping it on the Watercolor Paper will absorb the excess water and hold up to the excess of moisture.  I did the same thing with the sentiment.

Die Cut this stamped image with the coordinating and *soon-to-retire Labels Collection Framelits in yourBig Shot Magnetic Platform and Die-Cutting Machine.  I will miss this stamp set (and hoard it for my private collection!!).  Score this stamp set before they are GONE!

Layered over the stunning ribbon, the adhesive backed Pearl Jewels and Very Vintage buttons add a whimsical accent to the card.

2-Step Stamping is easier than ever with our Photopolymer options in stamp sets.  Starting with the Pistachio Pudding ink pad I stamp the leaves.  Layer in the Crisp Cantaloupe inked blossoms.  Add some pretty 'distressing' with this polka dot strip in Baked Brown Sugar ink.  This is and the sentiment really do say it all, that You are Amazingly Amazing!

Continuing with the vintage vibe add the Burlap Ribbon for a fun texture and interest.  Layer a 1" strip of (one of my very favorite papers) the Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper, and a 1/2" strip of the Gold Glimmer Paper cut with a banner like edge.  The Very Vintage Designer Button over the Burlap Ribbon would look great if the Baked Brown Sugar Thick Baker's Twine would tie through the holes but they are too thick.  So tie a knot over the button for a similar look.

This is a fun rubber stamp collection with an optical illusion sun element.  Much like art of the early 90's - this sun will move!  I think that this is so cool! (Try this - move your mouse up and down looking at this image... it will MOVE!! - How COOL is that?!?!)

 

A stamp set that is designed to layer... hand-stamping the Daffodil Delight sun on the Whisper White card stock gives me a great base.  Layer the Kindness sentiment over in the Jet Black Stazon ink.  This looks so sharp!  Add 'grass' in the bubble element and leaves in Old Olive ink.  This trio of colors are stunning and, thanks to my Color Coach, I look like a stylish stamper!

I really love the look of these Gold Basic Metal Buttons.  Adding one to the center of the sun using the Glue Dots is a fun textural element with an addition of a trendy metallic accent.  (Buttons are a fun and easy accent that is timeless in style and beauty.)  Adhere this to the Basic Black card stock base using the Glue Dots and you have quickly created a hand-stamped, stylish wow card that thanks someone for their kindness.  (Quick and stylish??  That's awesome!!)
