Featured Faux Watercolor Technique Card:
The ‘Amazing Silhouettes’ set has 3 image stamps, so you can choose any other greeting stamp sets you have to finish off your watercolor cards.
I think this image is perfect for masculine card too; would you agree?
I made this watercolor card as a thank you card, but you can easily change the greeting to fit any occasion. I chose to use the ‘Peaceful Moments’ stamp set for my greetings on all 3 cards.
Measurements

To give my faux watercolor technique cards a little texture, I ran embossed them with the ‘Textile Embossing Folder’ after stamping on them. It kind of makes the stamped layer look like watercolor paper.
