Step by step instructions

Here are three techniques for creating background papers that you may want to try. You’ll notice that I was using and reusing the same colors over and over, and sticking largely within the same color family. The reason for this is that I wanted to have a slew of papers that would all work together for some upcoming projects I have planned.

Next week, I’ll share the rest of my papers and the techniques for making them ;-)

    When you say that your watercolor paper is topped with a dry sheet, what is a dry sheet? Another sheet of watercolor paper? These are just awesome. I would love to make some of these to transfer some of my photos to. I’m not having much luck with photo transfers. Going to work on it again this weekend

    Oh for heaven’s sake! I’m an idiot who didn’t proof-read! I meant a “dryer” sheet…a fabric softener sheet LOL!!
