diy | watercolor valentines
Happy February, friends!
Yesterday, I had some fun with watercolors and made a few simple Valentine’s Day cards. This DIY made me feel artistic (and you’re seeing the extent of my painting abilities) because I can paint words, crooked lines and hearts. Yeah! This would be a great DIY for kids or the artistically challenged, like myself.

You know, I haven't painted with watercolor in ages but this makes me really want to! The little hearts are too sweet.

Excellent. Your art skills are very beautiful. 🙂 Thank you for sharing. And I was wondering if I could share this DIY on my blog. I would only use one photo and then a link and a little explanation of the project. Would that be ok?

I love these!!! I wish I could make them. My hands do not follow directions from my brain. But I guess I could always say my kids made them. 🙂
