USE WATERCOLORS TO CREATE A VIBRANT BIRTHDAY CARD

Design by Donna Downey

To create the front of this card, Donna drew on four separate pieces of watercolor paper with watercolor crayons, then dragged a moist sea sponge across the papers in a sweeping motion to blend the colors. She mounted the pieces on the front of a white card, then wrapped a ribbon around the front panel, covering the seams and giving the card the appearance of a wrapped gift.

Learn how to stamp with watercolor crayons.

SOURCES Watercolor paper: Canson. Watercolor crayons: Caran d’Ache. Font: Evergreen by Two Peas in a Bucket. Metal-rim tag: Avery.
