Sharing a few easy watercolour cards

Hi everyone

 

Just popped in to share a few really quick cards I made recently for Scrap Matrix using watercolour and some simple stamping.

 

They really were quick and simple.

 

 

I used the Prima Watercolours - Tropcial.  Just love these colours.

They have a really nice depth to them.  Some other watercolours I've tried are a bit too washy but these are lovely and intense.

 

I also love that there is a metal lid section where you can mix colours.

So handy.

 

 

For the first card, I just added purple and blue randomly to the background.

 

Once dry, I added a few flicks.

 

I then stamped some of the gorgeous Dina Wakley Abstract Bloom Stamps using archival ink 

You must use a waterproof ink so that it doesn't bleed when water is added.

I cut these out and added to the background with foam tape for extra dimension.

 

I then stamped a sentiment using the Dina Wakley What to Say Stamps .

 

So quick and I love it!!

 

 

 

Card 2 was created by painting some stripes onto the background. 

 

I chose yellow as it's just starting to warm up here and I'm desperate for the sunshine!!

 

I then stamped some Dina Flowers and some leaves.

 

Some of these I left blank and some I added watercolour too.

 

I added them on using foam tape for some dimension.

 

A quick sentiment stamp, and it's done!

 

 

For card 3 I added watercolours to the background along the centre of the card, and worked it outwards.

I was aiming for a paint splatter look.

 

I love the way the colours merge!!

 

I then flicked some black paint onto the card and added another Dina Wakley What to Say stamp.

So quick and easy!

 

 

For my final card I painted a rainbow effect across the card, blending the colours so they merged together.

 

I then simply stamped some of the tiny abstract blooms from the stamp set across the page.  I wanted them to look like they were trailing.

 

A quick stamp with a sentiment, and I was finished!

 

I just love these watercolours and stamps.  I love how they work together. So many options!!
