Alex Syberia Design Christmas Rose
Watercolor florals are my jam and the Alex Syberia Christmas Rose Stamp Set is exceptional. The possible floral arrangement options are endless. What I love most about today’s floral design is that I didn’t have to do any masking!

Maker Forte Kaleidoscope Powders
If you haven’t tried Kaleidoscope Powders, you’ll want to after seeing how easily it elevates your cards! Today, I used Neptune and Aurora powders on my slimline watercolor card.
Look at that gorgeous shimmer! Simply mix the powder with your watercolor paint or rehydrate it with a bit of water. Use a brush to paint the pigments or spritz it from a water bottle.
Tropical Sorbet #10 Envelope
A slimline card isn’t’ complete without a fancy slimline envelope. The Maker Forte Tropical Sorbet #10 Envelopes have a yummy metallic sheen and self-adhesive closure.
Due to the metallic surface, I recommend stamping with Staz-On ink to prevent smearing. Pigment inks like the one I used take much longer to dry.
Finishing the Slimline Watercolor Card
Of course, this card needed splatter and nothing could be better than Aurora Kaleidoscope Powder splatter.
To finish off the card I matted the watercolor panel with Stardream Metallic Gold cardstock and adhered it to a 3.5 x 8.5-inch card base.
I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Do let me know what you think in the comments. I’ll be back next week with another watercolor card to delight you. Huge thanks to Alex and Niki for inviting me to guest design and to you guys for joining me today.

Could you please tell me more about your watercolor mixing book?
Hi Celeste,
Sure thing. It’s a Moleskin journal. I’m practicing a couple things with the Zentangle watercolor swatches. It gives me a chance to practice Zentangle patterns and to mix my Daniel Smith watercolors. I choose one base color and mix it with the other 27-29 colors in my palettes. This helps me choose color palettes for projects. Otherwise I sit there wondering what colors to mix and not knowing for sure how it will turn out.
I will post a few videos in the next couple weeks on the process I go through to make the Zen watercolor swatches. So stay tuned for those!
Thank you for sharing! Your work inspires me and when I saw that I thought what a genius way to learn more about watercolor. I look forward to your upcoming videos.
