Shimmer Watercolor Lotus Card

August 25, 2021 by Heather Holbrook

Shimmer Watercolor Lotus Card

I love shimmer watercolor, it adds a lovely colorful sparkle and works with so many different styles of stamps. Lydia used a pretty Lotus stamp from Ink on 3 and heat embossed it with black ink and clear embossing. Embossing your stamps is a great way to create a “barrier” so your watercolors don’t bleed, it’s easier to stay in the line plus with the shimmer it also gives the entire image the look of stained glass.

Visit the Ink on 3 blog for a tutorial.
