Hello Friends,
Today it is all about watercolor and horses. The Let It Ride is perfect for a great watercolor scenery. Trust me this watercolor is simple I just dis a quick wash of color with the aqua painter. I love the messy look of this card. Most watercolor look messy I my opinion and I love it.
I have the video below or also on my You Tube Channel.
Why watercolor paper
I strongly recommend watercolor paper when it come to watercolor.
Here my main reason. The paper absorb the water, so you can apply the color or remove the color with water. You can keep adding color over and over and it will not make a hold like regular card stock. So in short it is way more flexible then cardstock.
Measurement
- Old Olive or Early Espresso 11 x 4¼ score at 2¾ and 5½ card base
- Old Olive or Early Espresso 5 x 3¾
- Watercolor paper 4¾ x 3½
- Whisper White 5¼ x 4 inside
I listed all supplies below. I show how to make the fold and the watercolor in the video.
Important note when you watercolor it is best to let dry in between color, this will get a better coverage of the colors. It you apply color over and over with the aqua painter it will keep adding water and wash away the colors so give a little time to dry in between application and VOILA you will have a brighter colors.

I love the horses & your card is great with your masking & water coloring. You make it look so easy! Thanks, Frenchie!
Hi Frenchie,
I made a card that I masked on. When I stamped over the mask it was white around it. Can you tell me what I did wrong? I just watched your video and it was perfect. Thanks for any help.
