Tutorial on My Watercoloring Process:
- I started by brushing water on Bristol Cardstock.
- Using watercolor markers, I start at the bottom and add lines of rainbow color aiming for loose 1/4″ inch bands that are not precise or particularly even.
- I add water as needed to complete the panel.
- Let the panel dry and then die cut your sentiment.
- Cut an additional sentiment from white cardstock and then glue to the back of the rainbow die-cut.
- Cut a white background band for the sentiment and then adhere to an A2 card base with foam tape.
- Use liquid glue to adhere the sentiment to the white background band.
- Embelish with enamel dots.
The Thank You and Birthday Cards were created with the Watercolor Brush Markers.
The Hello card below was watercolored with Derwent Inktense Pencils.
I always love bright and happy and I think I achieved that with these three cards. You could also achieve a similiar look with ink blending gradients. Altenew has new Fresh Dye Inks that were recently released.
I’d love to hear what you thought about my video and these cards.
See ya next time!
