How to create a watercolour wash for papercraft

watercolour wash technique for card making and diy handmade cards


 Hello there and welcome to the final Totally Techniques Blog Hop for 2024.  Our blog hop is here for you to visit several blogs sharing a similar technique to give you lots of tips and ideas for your card making.  This technique will also serve you well as a memory keeper journalling events in your life or scrapbooking.  You don't need many supplies for my version just waterbased markers, card, a stamp block and a water spritzer.  You can find the items and colours I used detailed in the video and below on my supply list.  

I love how simply you can start with this technique and how you can adapt it with layers or embellishiments and stamping to suit your personal design.  It's quick to create although sometimes you may want to allow time for your watercolour wash to dry before using it.  You can use a heat tool to speed up this process also if you can't wait.  

If you love the Stampin' Write Markers you might want to look at a speical offer coming on 7 January 2025 where you can take up option one to earn 2 free sets of 10 marker pens.  Please contact me for more details using the subscribe button above for more information. 

Here is a short video tutorial of how to do the simple technique I have used on the background on the circle on this card. 




I hope the festive season if you celebrate has been happy and full of fun and I wish everyone who reads this a happy, healthy and successful 2025.  See you again soon.

Thanks for visiting
