Masked Watercolor with FineTec Pearlescent Paints
Hello all! Kristina Werner here. Today I had so much fun creating a watercolor card using both traditional watercolors (American Crafts Paper Fashion Watercolors) and FineTec Pearlescent Watercolors.
I started out by masking off six squares in a window pane pattern using masking tape. Then I wet each square with water and dropped in watercolors. After letting it dry, I added small areas of gold pearlescent paint.
Small patterns were stamped in three squares using images from the Hello Darling stamp set and then traced over using a white gel pen. I also added a thin lined border to the other squares.
To finish off the card, I cut the Take Care dies four times, stacked the die cuts, and adhered the greeting to the card.
Thanks for stopping by! :)

Wow I so enjoy looking at this card! Love the dreamy and magical background, and the dainty white designs in each squares!
This is sooo pretty! Love the design and love the colors. And you reminded me that I have some pearlescent watercolors … that have never been used! WHY?!! lol
I love this card! So pretty and timeless design. I really like the shine on the card.
BEAUTIFUL! I love the subtle shimmer!
The development of this card was one of those where I was thinking yes……….no stop….yes.. no.. I liked the Hydrangea colour as is and I liked the three squares just plain, but in the end your finished card is perfect. So well done! I am one of those people with a love/hate relationship with white pens, but this card is so lovely that I am willing to try again.
This is so beautiful!
Kristina, this is such a lovely card…great color combo with the touches of gold. Thanks for sharing it and the video. Learned much from watching the step-by-step creation.
My first words were “Oh, wow”. I love the patterns and the window pane effect. Gorgeous!

This is gorgeous Kristina–and not super difficult. Don’t you have 1/4″ masking tape? You did a video earlier using that tape for a striped card, you so inspired me I bought some from Amaaon.
Loved how you arrived at your finished project. You must have an engineering degree what with all the thought you put into the masking. It paid off, though, and thanks for the tips.
Gorgeous! Love the colors and detailing.
Truly beautiful The colors are so summery! Thank you for this lovey make!
Oh my!!! This card is so simply beautiful. It feels effortless and timeless … Absolutely gorgeous and incredible. I absolutely love this. Those gold shimmers and the white line edging … Everything comes together so well.
