Quick & Easy Encouragement cards by designer Joy Ott

Thanks for joining us again on the Hampton Art blog!

Graduation season will be here soon, and I thought these bold Studio G / Hampton Art clear sentiment stamps would be perfect for that. Wouldn’t it be fun to customize them with the school colors of the graduate? It might be hard to tell, but I also used some Studio G / Hampton Art Mini Cards as cardstock.

Here’s how to create a similar look on your projects:

1) Stamp the sentiment on watercolor paper with archival ink.
2) Add some Distress Inks directly to your craft sheet.
3) Use a water brush to pick up some of the ink and fill in the open parts of the stamp.
