XoXo Cards

If you don't have a lot of time but still want to create some cute valentines for loved ones, this idea is quick and easy, cute and fun for the little ones.

I like the watercolor style because it ads dimension to whatever it is you are drawing. I went for an 'xoxo' pattern, but hearts would be equally as cute.

If you're feeling extra fancy, like I was, you can watercolor names onto your cards. I think it would be easier with a watercolor pen, but I just went after it with a small brush.

What you'll need:

• watercolor paints

• watercolor paper

• brushes (if you are going to do the names on the cards you'll need a fine tip in addition to the thicker brush)

• Scissors to cut the cards 

• Envelopes

• Glass of water

You only need one color (I also used white for the envelopes). Paint your design adding water when you want the pattern to be lighter.
