There's A Card Thursday - February 28, 2019 - Making Full Size Cards using 3 x 3 Watercolor panels

Today I want to show you how to use your Watercolor paper wisely and make some great cards.

As you all know I love to watercolor and being in a small trailer it is hard to have everything you need so I didn't take much Watercolor Paper and soon ran out of what I had.   I cut them to make card fronts so you don't get much out of a package.  As I was crying over running out I realized I had to do better with making it stretch.  I finally was able to order more Watercolor Paper and decided to look closely at how I use it.  The Paper comes in a size 9 x 6 so I cut it 3 x 3 hoping I could get more than one card out of a sheet. Well I discovered I could make 6 cards if I used the 3 x 3 panels.  Had to change my thinking of water coloring a little but it still works for most stamp sets I use.

So much you can do when you have to. So let me show you how to do these great cards.

3. With Memento Black I stamped the Saying on the Bottom of the Designer Series Paper.
4. Once the Watercolor paper is dry you can stamp the flower with Memento Black.  If you can not wait for it to dry you can use Black Staz-on to stamp on it.
5. Attach the Watercolor Paper to the card front.
