Hello, it’s Gaylynn. Today, I am sharing a vintage watercolor holiday card with a mail or postage theme.
Using light colors and accents, this vintage watercolor holiday card came to life.
Sentiment: Making spirits bright. Let your heart be light.
I share a video tutorial for this project and technique.
Helpful tips:
In summary, here are helpful tips for making a vintage watercolor holiday card. To begin, stamp using waterproof ink onto watercolor paper. Also, mask the envelopes to make a cascading look to them. Next, prepare an A2 card base from colored cardstock. Then, make a palette of desired colors for your project. I blended some of the colors together to get the hues that I wanted. Then, using a wet paint brush, carefully add touches of color, one section at a time. Once finished, heat set or leave out to dry completely. Finally, adhere the panel onto the card base, with added gems or embellishments, to finish.
Here is another look.
