Easter cards made from watercolor

Hi,
I made two varieties of Easter cards for this Easter. One is a typical religious Easter card and the other two are secular cards.
For the religious card, I used masking technique using a cross made by taping two pieces of painters tape. I painted loose flowers, buds and leaves around the cross. I painted gold metallic paint on the edges of the card.

Easter eggs cards were made using simple painting and transparent t lifting method. Loose flowers were added to this card also. On the other card, I doodled some designs also

Watercolour Transparent Layering technique

Hey,
I tried some transparent watercolor practise recently. This is inspired by the Jaylee watercolor artist, a watercolor artist youtuber. He has done a wonderful tranparent flower painting. But I used my own way of achieving this LAyering
It is a wonderful tech to practise and try. This works perfect for making cards

This is an awesome technique to try

Watercolor & doodling a bunch of rose Valentines day card

Hi,
My yesterday's vlog was a doodled and watercoloured card. I have didn't have any intention of making a card, however, the watercoloring that I did on Saturday turned out to be awesome I guess. So I added some more dimension by doodling something on that. I was watercoloring some polka dots in Quinacridone rose colour> it turned out to be good. So I added some leaves using a mix of 2part  Permanent green & 1 part Viridian Green Hue. Then I doodled some easy petals with the help os some waterproof black pen.
That was good to see hmm. I cut the painting into 2 parts and then joined them using a printed vellum sheet.

This is what it looks like 

How pretty N cute, right?

Valentines Day card using watercolor & freezer paper masking

Hi,
I recently watched someone making a T-shirt using freezer paper masking.
Freezer paper is used to wrap meat. It has a shiny surface ( plastic coated) & a regular surface. When pressed with an iron box the plastic coating melts and it will adhere to the surface to be worked on. I incorporated the same technique to make a card for Valentines craft series. I enjoyed making them.
The iron box temp is set to medium heat setting. Strathmore watercolour paper is used. I used a kitchen freezer paper, nowadays freezer paper is available as craft freezer paper as well. The kitchen freezer paper comes in a big roll, while the other comes in sheets.
