Combining a stamped image and watercolor to repurpose old book pages into unique handmade cards is both gratifying and fun! I love using watercolor paints on old book pages; it makes blending colors effortless. Today, I will use a bold butterfly stamp from InkaDinkaDo to create 3 different watercolor cards. The bold sentiment stamps are from @Heidi Swapp .
