This project is so simple, it’s almost comical. By jazzing up some watercolor paper with watercolor paints, you can make simple personalized note cards for everyday use. Give the cards as a small gift, or keep them for yourself. Use them to leave a quick note for the sitter, or jot down your to-do list for the day.

I love simple watercolor crafts, especially when I use cool hues like blues and greens. There is something so relaxing about the stroke of a brush on watercolor paper. 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!
