For my card I wanted to do a watercolor effect. I love that you can get this effect with using Tim Holtz Distress Inks. Just so easy!!!
This card is what I call a second generation stamp, I know you're probably wondering what that means. :) I first inked my stamp, sprayed with water then stamped on watercolor paper. Then I stamped again on another sheet of water color paper.
The card below is a first generation stamp. Can you see the difference? It's much brighter that the upper card. :) I prefer the upper card's look, however I don't like to waste so I usually will make two cards.
