Heron Habitat: How to Create The Perfect Watercolor Background

The Heron Habitat stamp set by Stampin’ Up! begs for a watercolor background! And I have a guest stamper today who is going to teach you how to create this easy look. She is using the Heron Habitat stamp set, and, if you’re like me, you’ll fall in love with this stamp set.

Pat Fairless is my guest today and she is one of my fabulous Klompen Stampers team members and her cards are amazing! Over the summer (maybe longer if you like me having guests) I am featuring someone from my team once a month. It is fun to see what others make and get different tips and ideas from another stamper.

  2. I loved your card. I enjoy water coloring backgrounds and this would be a fun one to do. I also liked the back grouds on the card base that were extra. I would like to see more of your work.
