A Few Important Tips
- Make sure you use Shimmery White Cardstock or Watercolor Paper–I prefer the Shimmery White
- Make sure each color is dry before stamping another color near it
- Here is a close up of the scene that is JUST STAMPED
- Here is a close up the scene with the AquaPainter
- And don’f forget to stamp the inside. The greeting for the inside is from the THANKFUL THOUGHTS stamp set.

Love your watercolor technique! I doubt I will ever “just stamp” with this set either! Thank you!! And thanks for sharing paper sizes and colors used. Sure saves a lot of time and frustration!
It’s pretty addicting! Glad you like how I share. It’s more work, but I know it helps people.
Would watercolor paper work as good, and dry faster? Thinking of doing at a camp.
Hi Mariam
Yes Watercolor paper will work, I just don’t like the texture as I feel it’s harder to stamp on, especially with such fine detailed stamps. Give it a try and see what you like best.
