Yesterday, I shared with you my first Christmas jewelry piece and today, I have my first Halloween project- a watercolor skull postcard made from the Water Paper Paint: A Creative Card-Painting Kit
using a warped paper flattening tip in the booklet.
It was so easy and fun-you could make one for all your fellow ghosts and goblin friends!
I love the fact that the postcards in the Water Paper Paint: A Creative Card-Painting Kit have the lines on the backside!
I completely just winged it and painted the skull. No planning or research! Not bad, huh? Skulls are so easy to draw! But as you can see, when it dried the paper was warped.
So following this tip in the booklet included in the Water Paper Paint: A Creative Card-Painting Kit I gathered up the glass and fabric and some of my favorite new books...giggle.
