Faux Watercolor Technique

August 6, 2020 by Heather Holbrook

Faux Watercolor Technique

Amy R. has a terrific tip on getting the look of watercolor with out actually water coloring. For her faux watercolor technique she heat embossed her stamped images in white on white cardstock and then rubbed water reactive ink pads over them and then sprayed with water. It’s a quick and easy way to get that watercolor look without all the work!

Visit the Prairie Paper and Ink blog for more info.
