A Fun & Elegant Water Stamped Background

I just love the Water Stamping Background Technique.  This was one of the techniques I did with my stamping club last month. Everyone loved it!

I like the softness of this card using some of the ink colors from the Subtles Collection.  I must admit the Subtles Ink Collection is my favorite.  The technique is easy and fun to do. All you need to do is sponge your cardstock, ‘ink’ up the stamp with water and stamp – and you have created a great background!

I simply love the Creative Elements Stamp Set which I use quite a bit.  Click herehere, and here to see more projects with this stamp set.   It makes excellent backgrounds and focal points!

So what do you think of this technique?  Leave me a comment below.
