For today’s share, I’m showing how to create a sepia or vintage look using a watercolor technique. This is a beautiful way to give your stamped images a soft, timeless feel.

The stamp set I used is Gallery Blooms and Prayers & Promises, and the best part is that you only need two ink colors to achieve this vintage sepia effect. It’s simple, elegant, and perfect when you want a classic style without a lot of coloring.

For the inside, I like to stamp the flower in the 2nd or 3rd generation. Then, I overlay the verse on the top with a darker color ink.
