I have another DIY watercolor card for you today. In fact, there are two cards! I thought some simple thank you cards would be perfect. :)
The biggest tip I can give you to make your inexpensive paints look there best is to mix unique colors. Colors straight from the palette can be great, but if you want a more complex look, try creating your own colors. I used a Crayola watercolor set that can be found in lots of stores for $2 or less!
I created two ombré watercolor backgrounds for my cards. The first was a smooth blended look. The second used a drier brush technique and I purposely wanted more streaks or stripes. I love how both turned out!
To finish the cards, I wrote "thanks" and "thank you" with a gray marker.

Love these videos with minimal supplies! They give me the courage to try my hand at watercolors! Thank you for sharing !
I have NEVER thought of premixing my colors. Beautiful cards and THANK YOU!
Awe Kristina, these cards are so precious and you are one heck of woman....that's what I took from this tutorial! TFS sweetie!
Thank you so much! Great video, I can't wait to try my own cards. Thank you also for explaining how you shade in the letters. :)
I never knew that watercolor could be so simple yet elegant! I loved making this!!
YES. I've asked a few people for letters of rec and these cards will be PERFECT!
You talk and make your videos easy to understand
These are great Kristina and easy for us beginner water colourists.
Wow those are both gorgeous cards, thank you so much for sharing the watercoloring technique with us. I've watched so many people do this type of thing using expensive water colors, and I put it off simply because I couldn't afford to go to an art store and buy the expensive stuff, Crayola Watercolors are in my budget right now, so your video really brought a smile to my face.
Wow you are so good at it
Love them
Just beautiful, simple and elegant. Thank you for sharing.
Nicely done!
So cool i am going to make this for my mothers birthday nextweek but then with watered acrlic paint😍❤️🎨

I always try to get a bunch done with my holiday cards, so I will be ready to send to people.... for presents or hosting parties etc! Thank you for posting a Thank you card Video, I dont see a lot of them up and I like them!!! I also like that this is simple and personal (not a die cut but hand written) You are a special person and I appreciate all your time to make these videos!

Thanks also for using the cheaper watercolours. I use these watercolours and you have given me some good ideas to make them work better for myself. You have definitely shown us that you don't need to use the expensive products to get beautiful results. Bravo!

Canson XL is available at my local IL Walmart and is perfect for your watercolor needs , especially for practice exercises. Exceptionally value for light watercolor card fronts for under $10 ! Thank you Kristina , I've yet to learn when to STOP when I should when watercoloring 😂. That's when you need the higher quality paper 🤔😅
wow beautiful cards!!!
Love it. Can't wait to try this
Great technique and thanks for sharing it......

Like it! Thank you for the tutorial!
These cards are super pretty! Keep going
Beautiful cards! Thank you for using limited supplies in many of your videos as many of us cannot afford artist grade supplies. I had some wonderful results with painting a galaxy after watching your videos and can't wait to try this technique 🙂
Blue one more beautiful and simple and classic them the other one but really amazing video till enjoy it😃😍😍
i like all of your designsss 😍😍😍😍 simple ans wow
simple and pretty😉
Kristina--great cards, thank you so much! I will try the watercolor techniques but my hands just don't work the way they used to so I will have to rely on stamps or dies for the sentiment! My granddaughter had so much fun playing with my watercolors this summer that I got her some for Christmas. This may be a technique that I could actually teach her?!! Thank you for the great information and inspiration! (Peg)
So nice weldone
Awesome!
Waw beautiful card of thanks and thank you 😚😚😚
On your last card using making fluid in Molot? Pen can you use clear water color crayons. Thanks Barbara
Beautiful effects :-)
Cute 👏
When giving this to someone, or selling them, what do you do about envelopes? Do you use one, and if so, any particular size? Do you make them? Thanks so much, Really love when you use your crayola watercolors!
i love it💕
Gr8!I was also wondering when you will be doing another minimal supplies video?I love those!
I had to laugh when you said to "use your own handwriting" on a card! Yeah, right....Kristina, most of us stamp because we are not artists! Goes for the handwriting too! When I first saw the finished card, my immediate thought was "who's stamp is that"? LOL...should have known.
This is the first video i watched from your channel and i immediately love it ! Definitely SUSCRIBED!
pretty!!
this is so pretty, thanks
thank you very much!
Wow I can’t draw but these looks doable. I am going to try
gna make this!!
Thanks
So pretttyyyy
wow
Do you also try other types of coloring materials aside from watercolor?
I love your channel, by the way. xoxo
Pretty and you don't need new stamps or dies.
Hello, what is the pad called that you're working on (with grid lines and such)?
hello K werner design how are you? can you able to use any kind of watercolour paper?
😍👌 like it
thank you for this amazing video, can you do more, please!★★★♥♥♥♥♥
What's the difference between using Watercolor paper or cardstock??
Hello :) do you have information on how would you save your design digitally to create multiple greeting cards?
So, I was wanting to hand make my Thank You cards from my baby shower with water color, would Cardstock work just as well? Please answer back asap. ♡ Love these cards!
I wouldn't recommend regular cardstock. Watercolor paper will look much better.
Beautiful cards and I will be making these for sure, thank you for a simple card to make. Question: I just stamped all of my Thanksgiving cards with a sentiment and some are smudging? I used a black pigment ink, I am new to this. Does pigment ink smudge and should I be using something different? Thank you.
Deborah Anne Pigment inks do take a longer time to dry. You can still use the ink, but just allow ample time to dry. :)
Thank you, how long would they take to dry? I am new to this stamping world.
That depends on your environment. I live in an area with high humidity, Southern Virginia, so mine can take up to half an hour or so. For many areas it takes less time
Pigment inks are really meant to be covered with embossing powder and heated. That's why they stay wet longer. Switch to dye ink if you're not going to emboss.
Thank you
