When you are short on time go BIG but don't lose the handmade touch. The Stampendous Jumbo cling rubber stamps I purchased from Ben Franklin Crafts are the perfect ones to use on a quick card project. I began by stamping the dove with white ink on white watercolor paper and heat embossing the wet ink with white opaque embossing powder. Next I sprayed the paper with water and applied three colors of stamping ink. I sprayed on more water and blotted the areas of the paper that were too dark. After heat drying the paper, I stamped the PEACE in silver ink and applied silver embossing powder melting it with the heat gun. The final step was using Merikan tape to adhere my faux watercolor design onto a purple 5x7 card. I love the simplicity and elegance of the finished card. I hope you'll try this technique on your future cards .Enjoy this season of giving!

Wow, Lynn this card is really beautiful! Really like how the colors you used for the background wash, really makes your embossed images stand out. I want to try this one day...did you add the ink by pouncing or wiping the ink pad directly onto the watercolor paper?
