by Arjita Sepaha Singh

Do you have a friend who you would like to show appreciation? Water coloring stamped images is my favorite cardmaking style and I am always on a hunt for new mediums to use for the water colored effect. In this video, I used Altenew stamps, Gold embossing, and Fireworks Shimmery Craft Sprays to create this beautiful yellow rose friendship card and it turned out very pretty. This is a great crafting project for a best friend gift or to show someone you care.

See How to Monoprint with VersaFine Clair

I’ve been curious to see how VersaFine Clair inks would work when used with a gel plate and finally made the time to give it a try. The rich colors meant I got very beautiful prints with each layer and the natural translucency of VersaFine Clair allowed me to build up some depth and color mixing between the layers without having to mingle the actual inks. Check out the video to see how I used VersaFine Clair and friends to create this sweet little bunny scene.
