I’m sharing a card inspired by one shown by Jennifer Rzasa in today’s Clean & Simple Cardmaking 3 lesson. Jennifer’s card featured a beautiful painted feather.
I wanted the simplicity of stamping (and wasn’t sure I could pull off painting a feather!). I stamped my sentiment, and then used a brush to apply some water to the paper. I colored the cityscape stamp with the Pitt Big Brush and stamped into the wet watercolor paper. The result was a subtle blur. I wanted to keep some of the cityscape detail. This is definitely a technique I’ll use for other stamps. From my brief investigation, it seems to work better with rubber stamps than clear ones.

Jean, this is awesome! Love that color of blue, too.
gorgeous color, and love the slight blur!
Great card. I love the water colour effect you’ve achieved.

I love this – my kind of water-colouring. I just watched Jen’s video and while she makes it look so easy, water colouring just makes me nervous! I love your card.
This turned out beautifully, Jean! I think I’m going to try it, too!
This came out beautiful!! I have yet to do my homework for today but I was thinking of what I could do rather then free hand painting something. I like how you adapted the technique.
Love your take on Jennifer’s card. Your “watercolored” buildings look great.
So pretty, I love it!
Gorgeous! I love this type of stamping!
