Watering the Paper Garden

September's stamp of the month is Paper Gardens.  This stamp set is most certainly worth the full value of $17.95 if you don't need to place an order this month - but it's a steal at $5 with a $50 order.  I've used it with the new watercolors in these cards.  To make these, I painted the watercolors on the new watercolor paper, then let it dry for 2 days.  I used black, new England ivy and sapphire with the stamps, and they all worked just fine.  I pressed hard for several seconds before lifting the stamp.
