    Wow, what a wonderful time. Thank you. Loved the Mums and Crysamthmums. Never painted, but I love watercolors. What's in my mind's eye is different from what comes out of my hand. I heard an artist say it was like a muscle you have to keep exercising that muscle to keep it good.

    Just fantastic. I was an art major in high school but never used water color but taught oil painting at a craft shop years ago. I am 70yr old now and unable to do fine brush work so this method your showing using the IOD stamps and using washes of color I can do. Thankyou for sharing and just ordered this stamp. Lol I think this on a small scale would be really nice to make cards. Thanks again. God Bless

      The masks come with the stamps. They are perfectly cut to line up and they're made of plastic, so you can easily wash and reuse.
