This technique is so quick and easy, but impactful. Create a watercolor background with Stampin’ Write markers and an acrylic block. I promise you, after watching my video, this technique will be on your go-to list of techniques. Not only is it super easy to do, but it has a WOW effect that will impress both beginners and experts (and that’s what we want, right?). I did my background with Tempting Turquoise, Island Indigo and Rich Razzleberry. But, there are so many other combinations you can do. I suggest a light(er), medium and dark color for each blend. Leave me a comment to tell me which 3 color combinations you like blending together, we can create a color chart.
