Relaxing Watercolor Painting & Lettering – Birthday Card

Hi, all! Today I have a bit of a relaxing and calming video for you. Last week I created a watercolored and lettered birthday card and I thought I’d share it here.

(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 Winsor & Newton Masking Fluid to write “Happy Birthday” on watercolor paper. After it was dry, I watercolored over the top with Qor watercolors. I let the watercoloring dry completely, and then removed the masking fluid.

To finish off the card design, I added 5mm and 8mm Crystal sequins from Darice.

I hope you enjoy the video!
