I am super-excited to introduce my new watercolor cards to you! I've had a small line of watercolor cards in the shop for a while, but these new, striped cards are kind of a big deal to me.
Color has always been my #1 inspiration for a new design, and that's what I love about these cards - they're pure color. For now, they come in a peachy/tangerine color; mint green; navy blue; and mustard yellow.
I made a boxed set of four with four white envelopes, which comes already packaged with pretty washi tape - all set and ready to go for gift giving:
I also couldn't help decorating a few different designs - here are some single cards meant for love letters, notes to friends, and family:
The first is a navy blue card with "all I need is you smiling" in silver ink, with silver x's and dashes, and a silver arrow. The saying is a piece of a lyric from the AWOLNATION song, "all I need".
This one is my favorite - the peachy-tangerine watercolor card with gold accents. "There is nothing better than being with you" is a Duran Duran lyric from their 2004 song, "Nice". The gilded text and polka dot borders are hand-drawn.
Finally, this mustard yellow card features "the sweet, simple things in life". This is the most decorated of the bunch, with black ink triangles, ^'s, and tiny dots.
I went with colors that felt like summer to me, so I'd love to know: what colors would you like to see? I seriously want opinions! Which color should I paint next?
Lovely! I like the mustard color....very happy. May I suggest a vibrant red with gold accents...kinda Indian summer in feeling.

You have a wonderful talent. I, myself, am new to watercolor. It is fun and exciting. I am using it as a new tool to expand my card making. Thank you for sharing.
