EASY WATERCOLOR BACKGROUNDS with watercolor markers!

Hello all! Today I have a fun watercolor video for you! I played with Arteza Watercolor Markers and created four different smooshed backgrounds. I also used some new dies from Simon Says Stamp. :)

(Wondering what I used in this video? Everything is linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this post, or in the text below. Compensated affiliate links used when possible).

I used four different approaches for the watercolor backgrounds. Be sure to watch the video for details. To finish off the card, I used the new Hello Beautiful Gorgeous and Modern Flower Card Wrap dies from Simon Says Stamp. In fact, today’s post is part of a blog hop!
