Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by this picture and or colours. I have made a watercolor contour card using the Watercolor Shapes and Color & Contour stamp sets.

Colours used in this project:

To recreate the watercolor contours card, you will need:

Sweet Sorbet card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Night of Navy card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper right corner

I chose one of the smaller rectangle stamps from the Watercolor Shapes stamp set and mounted it onto the Stamparatus Plate.

I inked up the image using Pacific Point ink and stamped it down onto one of the Basic White panels. I cleaned the stamp, inked it up with Bermuda Bay ink, moved the plate up one hinge step and stamped again.
