Neat & Tangled Reveal Day #4

Hello Everyone! Welcome back to day four of the Neat & Tangled May release week! Today I am sharing a fun, square shaped card that features the new Stitched Starburst dies and Fractal Cloud stamps and dies.

I did what I call some “freestyle watercoloring” techniques on this card for today. Watercoloring – and card making in general – is supposed to be fun. We shouldn’t have to stress about our artwork not looking like “so-and-so’s” art because we each see and create things in our own unique way. And we ALL make beautiful things!

The purpose of doing my “freestyle” watercoloring today is to show you that by just having fun, playing around with your mediums and not stressing too much about how it looks, you can create something beautiful that will make someone smile. I used Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolors to do all my painting and I think you’re going to really enjoy the techniques I am sharing in the video I’ve created for you!

Be sure to check out the video below or over on my YouTube channel to see how I created these cards! If you enjoy, please give the video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel; I post new videos every week!
