Create Fun Card Backgrounds Using Stencils and VersaFine Clair Inks

By Amalia Montano

Hi! This is Amalia with Imagine crafts. In this video, I am using the new VersaFine Clair colors and stencils to create backgrounds that will turn into beautiful cards. The VersaFine Clair inks are highly pigmented and stamp perfectly the first time. They are vibrant and great for use with watercolor as they won’t bleed when wet. I love color and use the new colors with coordinating card stock from my stash for a tone-on-tone look. I hope you get inspired with the new colors and what I am able to create with them.
