DIY simple Christmas CARDS in WATERCOLOR - tutorial with voiceover

Make a simple, fast and easy cards for Christmas.
This is a card making tutorial with step by step explanations how I made those 4 cars using watercolors. I do not think you should be a painter (or watercolorist) to make them and in my opinion anyone can do it. :)
They can also serve a purpose for any occasion if you draw a suited motive on this background and write you own text. :)

For making cards I used :
***Paper : Canson Montval watercolor paper 300gsm or 140lb
but any watercolor paper will do
***Watercolors : Primary Blue, Indigo, Sap Green, Green, Raw Sienna, Primary Yellow, Sepia
I also used white gouache...
White gel pen from Uni-ball
Masking marker from Solo Goya
but instead you can use white gouache or white marker
***Brushes: Round brush No 4 and 12
but use any one bigger and one smaller round brush

Salt is another way to get some fun blooms or texture easily. Similar to must bottle but does not water down color. Be sure to let it dry completely before brushing off the salt.

[@MarenaART]

Thanks, Karis! Yes, it has to be dry completely. :)

[@AngelaJeanBarr]

She uses salt in the video. Did you not bother watching?

Do you think drawings with a candle would have the same effect as the masking fluid pen? Loving your work !

Not sure. Never did thry that. Maybe depends on the candle. But you should try it and let us know. :)
