Here's the post that got me started on half of this journey
Watercolor Resist Bunny Painting
For the second half of this post, I had ordered all three Bible Illustrating kits from Day Spring called
Women of the Bible
which come with a free digital file. (I did not get paid for mentioning Day Spring, but I really do love their products)

I printed the digital files, used carbon paper to trace bits onto the cards. Next, watercolor resist filled it wherever I didn't want the base color. Then colored pencils were used for details.
I plan to write letters inside and then mail the cards to members of my sisterhood.
Do you have a favorite?
If you can call what I do a "technique" and you'd like to see details, here are a couple of other posts that show step by step directions.

Very pretty and special with a personal touch, Marci.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful. If I had to pick a favorite I'd say the yellow flower. Pinned.
ReplyDeleteI love the Love card, that's my favourite although they are all lovely. The watercolour resist technique goes especially well with a pretty handwritten effect font like this.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty - love the one with the white flowers!
ReplyDeleteThese came out really lovely. I am a big fan of projects that have the finished results look much more complicated than the actual technique, and this one fits that category!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I'm sure the recipients will love your handmade cards.
