For today’s share, I’m sharing an easy watercolor background that I love to add color to a detailed stamp. It adds beautiful color and pizzazz without spending time coloring every tiny detail.

The stamp set I used is Coneflower Celebration, but this technique works great with any detailed image.

I also included the video below from a couple of weeks ago showing another watercolor background technique—be sure to catch the replay if you missed it.
