We are so excited to be celebrating National Craft Month today with our sweet friend Nicole from Right At Home Stamps! Nicole is hosting a week long celebration of our favorite hobby! Each day there is a different challenge, guest designers, and prizes up for grabs for those who participate. In order to join in on the fun you must make a project inspired by the challenge and post it to one of the following forums:
- Post to the Right at Home Facebook group (link will be provided in post on RAH blog)
- Post on Instagram with #NCMwithRAH and tagging @rightathome
- Post to personal blog and add the link to your post in the comments of the RAH blog post
For today's challenge, I've tested out three new watercolor techniques...
#1. Alcohol
Adding rubbing alcohol to wet watercolor creates pretty blooms, similar to effects you can achieve with alcohol inks.
#2. Water Droplets
Droplets of water & liquid watercolor are spread with air and a pipette for a fun abstract look. Very fun to play with!
#3. Plastic Wrap
Plastic wrap pressed into wet watercolor and left to dry, creates a fun texture.
See a little bit more about how to achieve these looks in this quick video...

To turn all these fun backgrounds into cards, I die cut them into stitched rectangles. I added a hand-cut slope of watercolored "grass" and then the Right At Home Holidays Are On The Way car filled & topped with watercolored flower die cuts.
Thanks so much for stopping by and make sure to head over the the Right At Home blog to see what Nicole has created!
Hugs!
