Easy Watercoloring with Happiness Abounds Stamps

See how to use the Perfectly Penciled patterned paper and Happiness Abounds stamp set from Stampin' Up! to create beautiful watercolored images.
Are you scared of watercoloring? Does it look like it's too difficult and only for "real" artists? With the right tools, watercoloring is much easier than it seems, especially with rubber stamps!

I used the new Happiness Abounds stamp set and the Perfectly Penciled patterned paper from Stampin' Up!® to create some easy watercolored cards. 

If you want to see exactly how I did the watercoloring, be sure to watch the replay of the YouTube live that I did. I show you step by step how I colored the flowers for both of these handmade cards. 

These new stamps and patterned paper are from the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. If you don't have one yet, be sure to pop over to my catalog page and request one. It's so gorgeous and filled with fabulous ideas!

I've got cutting dimensions and supply lists for you below, so, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Watercoloring on Stamped Images

The Happiness Abounds stamp set is perfect for watercoloring because of its open line-art style. There is plenty of definition that you don't have to add definition with the watercoloring, but there is also plenty of space for coloring.

For this card, I stamped the flowers with Stazon ink on Fluid 100 watercolor paper. It is important to always use a thick paper when watercoloring. While you can use Shimmery White cardstock, the Fluid 100 paper is the best choice. The paper is thick enough to soak up the water and when flat, the water won't run, but stay puddled.
