About this class

Faux Watercolor with Stamps and a Spritz

Watercolor look, minus the brushes. Lydia Evans shows you how stamps and a spritz of water create a dreamy, hand-painted effect, so you get the look with zero experience.

What you'll learn

Replicate real watercolor painting effects using dye ink pads and a water spritzer.
Ink stamp surfaces directly to achieve loose color blends.
Control water coverage on stamps to prevent muddying fine image details.
Choose suitable cardstock weights that handle wet stamping techniques without pilling.
Add detailed splatter effects to soft stamped images for added artistic flair.
Craft hand-painted style cards quickly without using traditional paintbrushes or pans.
