Day of the Dead is approaching, why not make some beautiful watercolor cards for the occasion? We used a Crayola watercolor paint set, watercolor paper cards, and our Stencil1 sugar skull stencil. Here’s how we did it:

Lay out all your materials. Be sure to use watercolor paint and watercolor paper.

Using some low tack spray adhesive, we positioned the sugar skull stencil on the card. Only use a little spray and let it dry 60 seconds before laying it on the card.

We wanted the sugar skull design to be colorful so we used many colors in the watercolor set. Choose a color and start by dipping your brush in water. You then activate a color by swirling the wet brush in the dry paint. For stenciling, we recommend you get the paint a little thick by swirling a bit and then dab the brush on a paper towel. Too wet an application may make the watercolor paint need too much.
