Easy, No Mess Watercoloring Card Ideas

3/19/2021

3 Comments

 
The True Love Designer Series paper is the perfect floral patterned paper for coloring, and watercolor pencils and blender pens are the perfect solution for easy, no mess cards. Plus, they're an inexpensive way to color images. We all love the look and ease of Stampin' Blends, but they can be a little costly if you want a lot of colors. The watercolor pencils are a great inexpensive alternative.

Today, I am hopping with the fabulous designers of the Pretty Cards & Papers International Design Team. We are all creating cards with the True Love patterned paper, and I think you're going to love them! You'll find the list of designers at the bottom of this post, so after you check out my projects, be sure to click through the rest of the hop to see all the other beautiful cards.
​
So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Gorgeous Posies Card Idea

All of these cards use the Happy Thoughts stamp set. This is a fabulous greeting set that has both outside and inside greetings. This stamp set, the True Love Patterned Paper, watercolor pencils, and a little cardstock is all you need to make beautiful cards! These flowers are colored with the Gorgeous Grape colored pencil and then blended with a blender pen.

Happy Thoughts Card Design

Here, I have colored one of the other flowers in the True Love patterned paper pack with the Calypso Coral watercolor pencils. I cut the sentiment with the Stitched So Sweetly dies and added a few Pearls.

Thank you card idea

Similar to the first card, these flowers are also colored with the Gorgeous Grape watercolor pencil. This is a great way to use the flowers at the edges of the paper since half of each flower is covered by the patterned paper. The sentiment is stamped on a 1/2" strip of Basic White cardstock and a few pearls and white bakers twine are added as accents.

Basic Black cardstock: 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2"

Floral Birthday Card

Once again, I've used the half flowers from the edge of the True Love patterned paper to tuck under this strip of striped paper. I colored the flowers Calypso Coral and the leaves granny Apple Green. I love the bright pop of the colors on the black cardstock! I stamped the birthday greeting on Basic White cardstock and punched the shape with the Tailored Tag punch.

I love how the flowers peek out under the geometric side of the DSP. What a great showcase of how beautiful this paper is.
