Happy Friday everyone! Are you all staying safe and healthy? Trying not to go insane with this new norm, right? I find myself doing lots and lots of watercoloring these days, to give myself some therapeutic time and to relax. It has been a wonderful escape.
I am sharing another watercoloring project with you today in hopes that you will find today’s video helpful, and that it inspires you to break out some of your supplies to get creative! Maybe you can make a card or two to send to your loved ones who you can’t be with in person yet.
In today’s video project, I am doing a very straightforward watercoloing technique on a stamped image. Its so easy, anyone can do it! Let’s start with the video tutorial first, as it is packed with lots of explanation and full progress of cardmaking.
Watch the tutorial below or HERE on Youtube
One of my favorite stamp sets was used for this card, and it is from the newest release by Altenew. I am so happy that all of us can still enjoy some crafting times and find creative escape during this uncertain time. Using watercolor brush markers, I was able to easily complete the card with fun, bold colors.
Below are some closed up photos of today’s project, so you can see the card in details:

Thanks so much for sharing.
Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I love one layered cards, more practical when trying to send them out. But I find it harder to make as they just seem to lack something. But this card is fabulous! Your watercolouring really pop’s these floral’s off the card. Thanks for the video I am new to water colouring and have a lot to learn still.
Love this release!
I am working on adding my stamps and Dies to an app called Evernote I really like it since I can just look up what I have or need to complete a project. Iβm also able to add inspiration photos to each set so thatβs amazing too! After watching your live though now Iβm thinking I should do a little baking and watercoloring too, lol!
Wow!! Amazing card!! The coloring is awesome!!
Thank you for the great video. Your technique and teaching is helpful.
Just lovely! And I love how big this flower stamp is!!
Such beautiful cards!
Gorgeous coloring. Love your flowers
Thank you so much for your encouragement! Watercolor IS intimidating for many of us. The watercolor brush markers with a water brush to add the water makes it seem much more possible π Not a whole different set of supplies than what i already have, being excused for making mistakes at the beginning, and enjoying the coloring makes us all feel relaxed and ready to have a good play.
Love this stamp set, the images are gorgeous and I think you did an amazing job coloring them with the watercolor markers Nicole. Thanks for the inspiration and the video it is very much appreciated!
Your videos are a joy to watch as you give precise instructions and the why behind these instruction in your easy to understand narratives. Isn’t this stamp the nicest product in a line up of outstanding release. Water coloring is indeed daunting but you give me confidence that I too might be able to do it too! Thanks!
Bright, beautiful, and colorful! A lovely card anyone would be thrilled to receive. Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful work!
Your card (and that stamp set) is gorgeous!
Beautiful water colouring! Love your cards. Thanks for sharing
