\nHi. Today I’m sharing a couple of simple watercolor cards…<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nI don’t know about you but sometimes I get stuck creatively. When I do, I just start playing and that’s how these cards were born. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI love the look of metallics with watercolor, so I die-cut THIS<\/a> word several times from THIS<\/a> foiled cardstock. When I adhered them on top of the background, I layered them, shifting them slightly to create a “thicker” look…<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

For the backgrounds, I applied various colors of Distress Ink (all listed in the supply list below) on an acrylic block<\/a> and then sprayed it with water and applied the watercolor to THIS<\/a> cardstock.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

I didn’t add any embellishments because I didn’t want to distract from the simplicity of the cards…<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

I love using Distress Inks for watecolor since they “play” so nicely with water. I hope this inspires you to create some simple watercolor cards.<\/p>\n

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!<\/p>\n
