If you love watercolor crafts as much as I do, come hang out with me on Pinterest. I’ve curated a board with only my absolute favorite watercolor projects!

Then pick two complimentary paint colors. Paint a stripe of one color at one end of the card. Paint a stripe of the other color at the other end of the card. Blend the colors until they meet in the middle.

Alternately, you could just do a swatch of a single color.  The sky really is the limit for this craft.

Repeat this process with various color combinations.

Let the watercolor paint dry completely.

Then, take a black fine tip permanent marker, and write a favorite quote or greeting. Simple, shorter phrases work better on these smaller cards.
