Easy Watercolouring (I Promise)

The hardest part of this technique is choosing what colours to combine. I've gone with a pretty mix of blues and greens... three colours in all, but as with all watercolour, the pigments mix where they meet to form different tints.

Start by heat embossing the lined image several times on watercolour paper.

Use a brush to add clean water to the first flower. You want the whole flower quite wet, but not dripping. Mix your water colour paints to the consistency of ink, load your brush then touch it to the paper to transfer the colour. The paint will spread to the areas where you've added the water. Add the different colours side by side and watch them mix.

When they're completely dry, fussy cut each flower so they're ready to use on your cards and other paper craft projects.
