Designer’s Tip: For the background, squeeze a few poofs of the Ultramarine Blue, and a few poofs of Alizarin Crimson on the sheet of watercolor paper. Wet the 1” flat brush with water and use a sweeping motion from side to side, continuing down the sheet of paper. Now squeeze a few more poofs of the ultramarine blue onto the sheet for texture. Let dry. To color the Dazzles™, place them on clean watercolor paper. Use the #5 round brush to mix some dry Alizarin Crimson with a small amount of water and paint in some areas of the flowers with the red paint. Repeat for the ultramarine blue for the darker blue areas. Now mix some blue with more water for a very light blue. Paint in the oval, leaves, and remaining areas as shown with the light blue paint. Let dry. Trim around the Dazzles™ and foam tape them on the card.
