Wet-on-Wet Watercolour Botanical Card with Salt Texture

Stamp your botanical design onto watercolour card using grey ink pad.

Load your wet brush with clean water and paint around the stamped image, staying outside the design lines but not being overly precise.

Paint water around the entire perimeter of your design, working section by section.

Mix a green watercolour and drop it into the wet area around your image, allowing the water to disperse the colour naturally.

Add yellow watercolour into the wet areas, pouncing rather than mixing to create varied colour tones.

Add darker colour spots into select areas for depth, pouncing gently rather than blending.

Wet the bottom section around your image and repeat the colour-dropping process with green, yellow and darker tones.

Sprinkle salt crystals onto the wet watercolour to create texture, then set aside to dry naturally.

Once dry, gently rub off the salt crystals with your finger to reveal the textured background.
