Impress your friends and family with handmade Valentine's this year!
Here’s what you need:
blank watercolor paper greeting cards (I purchased a 25 pack Cheap Joes Goof Proof greeting cards)
watercolor paints
paintbrush – select a waterclor flat brush for a clean edge
bowl for mixing paint
glass of water
paper towels
Instructions:
The key to watercolor is the freshness of each stroke.
Take your brush and wet it with water. Then mix a good amount of paint on the brush.
Start painting each letter on the card. Once you paint a stroke on the paper, do NOT go back over it.
After each stroke, wet your brush with a little water and more paint. Spell out the letters L-O-V-E
Share the L-O-V-E
