Watercolor, Day 1

The newest class from Online Card Classes is “Watercolor for Card Makers.” Day one included 3 terrific demonstrations for using watercolor on backgrounds of cards. I’m hoping this class will get me back into the swing of things in my studio. Please note, I have never watercolored in my life. This should be interesting. Ha!


I cut three “thanks” and layered them for some bulk.

Hero Arts - Dots and Flowers design block, white embossing powder
Ranger - watercolor paper
Sakura Koi - watercolors
Kerri Bradford - cut file for Silhouette
EK - flower punch

  1. No one would ever know that you never water colored in your life. You did a fantastic job. Great color choices also. I really like the multi-layered sentiment. I will be trying that very soon. Nice to see your cards again, Dixie.
