Simple Watercolor Technique for Crafting a Beautiful Warm Welcome Card

Watercolor painting is a fun and relaxing hobby that anyone can enjoy. There are many watercolor techniques to use and I’m sharing an easy, beginner-friendly one with you today. I created this card using a stamp set, a few inks, and a set of water painters.

Always use permanent, waterproof ink when stamping with watercolor. I like to use Stazon Jet Black ink. You will also want to use good watercolor paper that will not pill up when wet. I used the now-retired Shimmery White cardstock from Stampin’ Up! for this card but their Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper is also an excellent choice.
