Steps (6 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather up your supplies: watercolors, ink pen (alternatively, you can use a sharpie), pencil and a blank white card.

  2. 2

    Sketch out your floral design in pencil first. Start with a circle and add little flower doodles. The beauty of watercolors is that it's all about the impression- the flowers don't need to be realistic!

  3. 3

    Once you are done with the sketch, go over it with watercolors. Start with a light wash and add more color later.

  4. 4

    Once you are done with the painting, outline the flowers using an ink pen.

  5. 5

    I love how the black outline gives it a little punch!

  6. 6

    Personalize it with your own script!
