If you love the look of watercolor backgrounds but feel intimidated by watercolor paper, paints, or messy techniques — this tutorial is going to change everything.
You don’t need watercolor skills. You don’t need watercolor paper. You just need light spritzes of water, your favorite dye inks, and the right surface to blend on.

This simple trick gives you that dreamy, loose watercolor look without ever soaking your cardstock. You’ll see the ink move, blend, bloom, and dry beautifully — all while keeping your paper intact.
