The other day I decided I should probably create my valentines. This was the results...a water colored ode to The Help. I took a quote from that fantastic novel and wrote it over some paper I water colored various shades of pink. I really think the final results came out quiet lovely. After they finished drying I wrote little messages on the back of my cards along with the destined address and sent them out as a valentines postcard! If you'd like to recreate this idea it is quite simple....
watercolor paper cut to your desired size
assorted watercolors
paint brush
water
black ink pin of course any color will do
I just wet my paper and painted on the colors of my choice, tilting the paper in various directions to let the colors flow around the paper. Once my paper was dried I just wrote the quote out. I went back in and colored in the hearts with a dark red. Pretty easy! Here's to hoping you have a wonderful valentines surrounded with love.
