Abstract Watercolor Backgrounds with Karin Markers (plus a bit of mail art)

Hello, all! Today I’m sharing with you an abstract watercolor background that I created with Karin Markers. I was experimenting with the markers in anticipation of a livestream over at the Karin Markers Instagram account, and thankfully I had my camera on! The card today is a result of that experiment! I also finished off the background using a sentiment stamp from Simon’s I Am With You stamp set.

If you would like to watch the replay of my livestream showing the mail art and lettering, you can watch it HERE.

Enjoy!
