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 Colorado's wildflower season using a combination of watercolor painting and embroidery techniques.
We'll start by exploring watercolor techniques to create soft washes, colorful backgrounds, and dreamy floral-inspired landscapes directly on your card. Once your painting is complete, you'll learn how to elevate your design by carefully punching stitching holes and embroidering directly over your watercolor artwork.
The result is a card that combines the softness of watercolor with the texture and detail of hand stitching, creating tiny pieces of art that are almost too pretty to mail. Almost.
This project is perfect for:
🌼 thoughtful handwritten notes
💌 thank you cards
🎁 gifting to fellow stationery lovers
🏔️ Colorado-inspired keepsakes
✨ framing as miniature pieces of art
Participants will learn:
🎨 Beginner-friendly watercolor techniques and color blending
🌈 How to create layered backgrounds and floral-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 you send them to someone special or keep them for yourself, these cards capture a little piece of summer wildflower season in a format that's both beautiful and functional. 💖
