Hello! Today I have a card with Easy Watercoloring. I love to watercolor, and I love it even more when it’s EASY. This technique is so fun to do and you can do this even if you aren’t a professional watercolorist!
Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:
I have some tips for easy watercoloring, today I am using Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers, so these tips will be for having great success using those watercolor markers.
- Choose Bristol Smooth cardstock. This cardstock allows the Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to blend smoothly with a waterbrush!
- Heat emboss your image. Here I stamped using black ink (Versafine Onyx Black) and then used some clear embossing powder over the top. This will keep the watercolor inside these embossed areas!
- Choose 2 or three colors to blend and use a waterbrush in the lightest color first to blend into the darker color(s). It makes a beautiful blend
I used a gorgeous stencil (Latte Lace) for the background, using only TWO ink colors. I blended the Tumbled Glass and Squeezed Lemonade Distress inks together and they created a beautiful green.
The frames are from the Oh Happy Day die set. There are so many great options in this set! That’s where the sentiment came from also.
Watch the video above to see how this all came together!
I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!
I really love a calm watercoloring session, especially when it’s THIS EASY! I hope you enjoyed this project today. I’ll be back with more cards to share soon!
