Today I thought I'd share a card I made for my nephew's birthday using one of my favorite stamp sets that's retiring and using a "technique" that I love...watercolor with ink pads.
This card was actually pretty easy to make. It did take a couple of steps so it took a bit of time, but with a little extra heat it moved right along.

I started by wetting my watercolor paper and adding diluted Pool Party ink for the sky. I spread it around a bit and let it dry. Once that was done I very carefully inked up my stamp (because I don't have markers yet!) using Early Espresso, Old Olive and Garden Green ink pads. I stamped it, then used my aqua painter to spread the ink around. I started with the grass and added ink from my ink pad where I wanted more. After that I very carefully went over the trunks (the aqua painter was barely wet). The last thing I did was start at the top of each tree and work my way down. Once again I used very little water and I dabbed the aqua painter around, but not everywhere so some of the branches would show. Once it was dry I layered it on Pool Party and put it on an Old Olive card base.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
