I wanted to create something new and fresh to decorate the wall in my craft room where I work and spend most of my time. It’s important to me that I’m able to catch little glimpses of creativity and color about the room – it inspires me when I’m feeling stuck and it always brightens my day.
So after discovering a few instagram videos using a similar technique, I decided to try out this simple but effective watercolor technique. Here’s a quick video showing you how I used waterbased brush makers to color on to plastic film. I then use my fingers to flick the color with water, to blend. I LOVE the varying sizes of drops you get when you use your fingers instead of a spray bottle.
After sprinkling the color with water, I place a cardstock mini banner over the top and wipe over the back of it with my finger then dry with a heat tool.
When each banner is dry, I used some glitter gold letter stickers to spell out my phrase; make every day. Make something every day? Make every day count/matter? Yes and yes. All of it.
I punched small holes in each corner of the banners and strung it on to twine for hanging.
