Faux watercolour tutorial for a handmade card by Debby Hughes using supplies from Simon Says Stamp #watercolor #homemade

I love to add watercolour into my cards, but it can be time-consuming or not necessarily within someone’s skill set. However, faux watercolouring is so easy and yet gives that watercolour look with little to no effort! Today’s post is part of a blog hop for the August Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp, more details on that below. I’ve linked all supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

I love this watery effect, and it is so simple to do! I cut a few panels of watercolour card and repeated the stamped rays multiple times in just a few minutes, so I now have lots of pieces to make cards, and I can just add a sentiment that matches the occasion. I hope you give this simple technique a try and enjoy the resulting faux watercolour effect!
