Easy Watercolor with Acrylic Paints

Hi there! Hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day yesterday!Today we have a beautiful new scrapbook page to share with you from design team member, Jessy. She’s using the new Sunny Days collection, although I love how she’s used it in a way that isn’t necessarily the summertime theme. It shows how versatile the products can be depending on which things you pick to use! Also be sure to read below for her tips on how to use acrylic paints to watercolor. This is such an easy art technique you can do with your kids too and it turned out so very pretty!!

Hello everyone! It’s Jessy here today to share with you how I used Maggie’s latest collection, Sunny Days on my scrapbook layout. This collection is another stunning one.  And it is very versatile too, as always! What excites me again are the floral designs, the cute illustrations, and the new paints! Just before I begin, I will always carefully choose my products and colors to match. Let me share with you on my creative process…This layout was really fun to put together. I kept the whole look clean & simple but added lots of cute little details. To create the background, I went with the wet on wet paint technique. I apply some water on the white background and add some paints as I go. It creates the watercolour look to my background. Once I was done with the paint, I added some splatters of mist all around to enhance the background color. Once that was all dried, I proceeded with positioning the photo somewhere in the middle. Then I went on to pick out all the patterned papers along with the flora that I fussy cut. I really loved the idea of pairing those flowers with the die cut flora that I cut with my die cutting machine. Just perfect for my project!After I was done with adhering all the products onto my layout, I decided to layer it all onto this colorful patterned paper. I love how the colors on the products matched so well with the patterned paper. To finish, I used those cute journaling runners at the edge of the white card stock and it sure gave the interesting look and texture to my layout that I wanted!

I truly had a lot of fun creating the background with the paints and combining all the pretty products together! It’s always a pleasure to design my layouts with Maggie Holmes’ products!  Thanks for joining me today. See you soon!  Xoxo JessyHappy Friday Friends!
