Back to Crafty Cards Course

by Kari Lynn M.

This quick and easy watercolor class is perfect for those who need to make a thoughtful, handmade birthday card… maybe even at the last minute!

In this painting class, you will learn basic watercolor painting techniques, like wet-on-wet technique, while you make a colorful greeting card. You also have the option to add a printed text insert on the inside of the card (see below the video for more on that) to wish a friend or loved one “the loveliest of birthdays”.
