Hello, it’s Gaylynn here with another installment of my Watercolor Wednesday series. For this card, I used distress marker watercolor on the flower planter.
This is a card for most any occasion. It features my version of planter flowers, although the kit was intended to be succulents. To me, this kit seemed versatile enough to work as flowers or as succulents. One of my favorite color mediums is distress marker watercolor.

For this project, I made a quick video tutorial for this planter card. It includes instructions along the way throughout the video. However, a written process follows below.
Planter Flowers Card ~ Distress Markers for Watercolor
By Gaylynn Martling for Unity’s Watercolor Wednesday
(See also the video tutorial for this project.)
To begin, pre-stamp onto watercolor paper with ink safe for watercoloring.
For detailed areas, color by section, drying between colors and sections. Or allow the colors to bleed together for a different effect.
Apply a distress marker color to dry paper. Then, using a wet brush, blend out the color. Repeat.
Or, try applying marker color to a plastic craft mat. Wet with a brush and then apply color.
I used both methods on this.
Ranger distress markers used: aged mahogany, picked raspberry, worn lipstick, tattered rose, peeled paint, mowed lawn, bundled sage, pumice stone and tumbled glass.
Finally, assemble the card.
Here is another look at my card.
