Project Recipe
Using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool, score the 5.5" x 8.5" Coastal Cabana cardstock at the 4.25" marker.
Clear Block Watercoloring Technique:
a. Using Coastal Cabana, Soft Sky and Crumb Cake Stampin' Write Markers color the Clear Block E starting with the Soft Sky (lightest color) in the middle then repeat with other colors.
b. Using a Stampin' Spritzer filled with water, gently spray the clear block so it is wet but not soaked.
c. Stamp the Clear Block on the 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" Whisper White cardstock but hold it down for about 10-15 seconds to allow the ink to seap into the cardstock.
d. Lift up and be amazed!
