  1. I fell in love with this stamp when I saw it! I love that you combined a watercolor technique and used the inks to do that! I didn’t realize until a year ago I could watercolor with my inks! I had owned almost all the distress inks for years and seeing them used as watercolors blew my mind! Now, I use them often when painting! I also really don’t like gold, but it looks so beautiful when you splattered it! Just Beautiful!

  2. Love the gorgeous colors, gold and shine on your beautiful card and tags. Perfect for the holidays! 🌟

  3. Another beautiful floral. I so enjoy watching you paint. Thank you for sharing your talents with us, Amy.

  4. I get the impression this floral will be like the Beautiful one you use again and again!! (I love that!!). Gorgeous card!

  5. I love everything about these cards from the colors to the floral stamps! Just so festive and classy!

  6. Hmmm, you said you didn’t have any tips for us while you were watercoloring, but you really did! I’ve never thought of dropping the Distress Stains onto a pallet and using a watercolor brush to color with. I haven’t had a lot of luck spraying them so maybe I’ll try this technique instead! I love your cards and was watching the video here, but decided to finish it over on YouTube so I could give it a THUMBS UP! Great job!

  7. I love that you show so many ways to use Distress Spray Stains. You make the Distress lines come to life in your cards and projects. I love watching what you create. Thank you for the videos and pictures.

  8. Beautiful cards! I enjoyed watching your video and how you made them. I’ll have to remember to lightly stamp an image inside like you did. Thanks for sharing!
