Some projects can't decide whether they're watercolor, embroidery, or paper crafting. This one happily chooses all three. 🐠🌊🎨🪡
In this mixed media workshop, you'll create a set of beautiful handmade note cards inspired by colorful coral reefs, tropical fish, sea plants, and the vibrant ecosystems hidden beneath the ocean's surface.
We'll start by exploring watercolor techniques to create flowing underwater backgrounds, colorful coral formations, and dreamy ocean-inspired washes directly on your card. Once your paintings are complete, you'll learn how to transfer your design into the next dimension by carefully punching stitching holes and embroidering directly over your watercolor artwork.
The result is a note card that combines the softness of watercolor with the texture and detail of hand stitching, creating tiny ocean-inspired works of art that are almost too pretty to mail. Almost.
This workshop is perfect for:
🐠 thoughtful handwritten notes
💌 thank you cards
🌊 gifts for ocean lovers
🐚 beach house and coastal decor inspiration
✨ framing as miniature mixed-media artwork
Participants will learn:
🎨 Beginner-friendly watercolor techniques and color blending
🌈 How to create layered underwater backgrounds and ocean-inspired compositions
🪡 Techniques for embroidering on paper surfaces
✂️ How to prepare and punch stitching holes for clean embroidery
✨ Ways to combine watercolor and embroidery into cohesive mixed-media artwork
Whether your finished cards feature coral gardens, tropical fish, seaweed forests, or abstract underwater color palettes, you'll leave with a collection of handmade stationery inspired by one of the most colorful places on Earth. 🐠🌊💖
