I decided to go with ink refill colors of Early Espresso, Coastal Cabana and So Saffron. Figuring out color combinations can be made easier by using the Stampin' Up!©
Color Coach In additional to refill ink bottles you of course need Baby wipes, any wipe will do. I also used the craft mat to save on clean up time. If you don't have a craft mat, make sure your surface is easily cleaned so the inks don't stain through the baby wipe.
Once the color decision was made, ink up your baby wipe with the ink refill colors, darkest to lightest, leaving no 'white' blanks. Tip, 'stamp' your image in the baby wipe first so you can see an outline of where you need to ink. Once inked, stamp your image on the inked baby wipe and then onto your paper. I chose the shimmery white cardstock which works really well for water coloring techniques. It does not take long to dry and you can begin to assemble your card.
This card gives you a sneak peak at the Elegantly Said stamp set from the 21-22 Annual Catalog available to order May 4, 2021. I am having a lot of fun making samples to show case this beautiful suite of products. I also added behind the punch sentiment, the new Simply Elegant Trim from this suite. Additional details to make the card are:
Paper
Shimmery White: trimmed to 4 3/4" x 3 1/3", + scrap for punched sentiment
Early Espresso 2 3/4" x 5 1/4", + scrap for punch layer
Coastal Cabana 5 1/4" x 4"
So Saffron Card base 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored 4 1/4 + scrap for punch layer
Other

Silicone Craft Mat
I encourage you to give this technique a try. Experiment with new color combos and see how great they work together.
