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.

Pat made a video for you showing how easy and fun this background is to make. The details for the card she made, the complete list of supplies needed to make these Heron Habitat cards, plus several other cards from Pat are included today. You will have lots of ideas to create with this stamp set.

Thanks! This was such a beautiful set.
Love all the heron cards. Nice to get new ideas!
Fantastic card and easy to follow video. Thanks much.
That was awesome! Thanks!
Thank you, I love learning new ways to use our sets. Using the overlay of the heron is great and I will certainly be casing your card!
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.
Great cards! Love the watercolor!
Thank you for sharing, both Jackie and Pat.
A great card, I think I can watercolor now.
Blessings
Very pretty cards!
