I can't draw or paint, but I learned a simple way to watercolor and make handmade cards.

Total Time: 1
Yield: 1
Supplies:
heavy paper or blank stationery cards
watercolor markers
paint brush
pencil
printed design samples
fine tip marker
Steps:
Print design samples. I found some simple ones online.
Using a pencil and a piece of blank stationery, draw the designs onto the paper. Or if you don't feel comfortable doing that, you can place a piece of carbon paper under the printed design and outline with pencil transferring the design to the stationery. I was able to freehand it and I am NOT an artist.
Outline the pencil with watercolor markers. Using a paintbrush dipped in water, blend the watercolor marker outline and fill in the design. When dry, you can use a fine tipped marker to add detail.
