Joined me as I explore the Watercolour Block Technique using the Friendly Foliage Stamp Set! 🎨🌿
This simple technique is a wonderful way to create soft, artistic backgrounds by applying ink to an acrylic block, spritzing it with water and stamping directly onto your cardstock. Every background turns out a little different, making each card unique.
