Easy Watercolor Cards - perfect for Mother's Day

These watercolor cards are easy to make and work for any occasion.  I made one for my mom for Mother’s Day and then whipped up a few extra for thank you’s and “just because” notes.  All you need is a watercolor palette and a brush.

    Did you use a special card stock for the watercolor cards?

      The cardstock I used had a texture to it. It was part of a variety pack of 8.5×11″ carstock that I purchased. This is the exact pack that I purchased (from Target): http://www.target.com/p/Wausau-Paper-Creative-Collection-120-ct-30-Colors-Cardstock-8-5×11/-/A-13682162#?lnk=sc_qi_detailbutton. I hope that helps!

    Thanks so much – I love to make homemade cards and have bought paint thinking I would do watercolor but not sure about the paper to use – this will help. Have a blessed day!
