Join me for 5 tips on making easy watercolor cards. No watercolor experience needed! Full details and tutorial on YouTube.

These 2 cards might look complicated, but they are so easy. I think coloring with watercolor is one of the easiest ways to color things and is so forgiving. First, I start with heat embossing a stamped image onto watercolor paper. Next, I use the drop-in color technique to get the best watercolor results.

Next, the color selection makes all the difference! Make sure you are selecting colors that work well together and blend. Some colors when blended with create a muddy looking mess, so test your colors on scrap paper first.

Check out this color combo! See video tutorial for full explanation. Last, we talk about using a watercolor wash to create extra interest. On this card, I used metallic blue watercolor on the background!
