Many of you love the tiny Art Impressions watercolor stamps – me too – but you’re going to be thrilled with these LARGE stamps from Altenew too!

It’s so cool that basically the same techniques work with these giant stamps; use them wet in wet, wet on dry, spray….all the techniques taught in Stamped Watercolor Class will work here! I tried Altenew’s markers – and they’re pretty cool. Not a must-have as I already love my Tombows, but they do some interesting things for sure. Check it all out in the video:
About these stamps
A few notes: these stamp sets aren’t inexpensive – but know that they are the size of TWO sets. So that makes the price lots more reasonable! You can also just get the vases, and then use lots of your solid stamps already in your collection, too. Be sure to try the different layering stamps too!
Project idea
I had my big practice sheet of watercolor paper and realized…I had stamped the images close enough together that I couldn’t really cut card panels. WHOOPS! But you know what? That made me get a bit creative! I cut them into strips and made bookmarks for some Bible study friends!

I like how they turned out. Great video on the technique. I will have to check out the class.
Gorgeous bookmarkers Sandy. Great review also. From what I see is that these markers are more for colouring and drawing techniques than for colouring direct on the stamp. Although I love what you made with them.
Thank you so mcuh for sharing, stay safe and have a great day.
These are gorgeous Sandy

Great job! WOW — The end results are marvelous. Glad that these stamps incorporate watercolor techniques.
I LOVE these bookmarks! So elegant!
I love how you used the contrasting, decorative section of the vase as water. Because of the angles, I would not have thought to do that, but it turned out so interesting. I will now try my set with watercolor – thank you!
I like your end results. The stamp set look like it would be fun to play with
Wow – something really new! Love the “bigness” of these flowers! I like that they can be done in the traditional stamp pad way, or with watercolor techniques… hmmmm.
