Happy Cinco de Mayo! I've been looking forward to this day not only for enchiladas and margaritas, but also because it's the first day of "Watercolor for Card Makers", a class taught by some of the major celebrities of the paper crafting world. I would be totally starstruck if I ever met any of them in real life, so it's a good thing this is online. It is amazing to see what they come up with! The first lesson was on watercolor backgrounds. Here are a couple cards I came up with using the class video as a guide. I used a vintage plastic doily as a stencil for both cards. I used my Slice to cut out the sentiments, and then added a little washi tape and some tiny embellishments. These were really fun and easy to make! Using watercolors helps me to let go of perfection a little bit, and just see what turns up. I kind of like the messiness of it.
