Watercolor is not my strong suit. Yet, I have found a way to watercolor that seems to work for me is with Memento Markers. Today, I want to share with you how to create watercolor ombre backgrounds easily to create a Prayer encouragement card. And I’m adding sparkle, because why not? I hope you all enjoy the tutorial!
