The Seasons Greetings Triad contains full size Extrafine Watercolor tubes of our most celebratory colors. Organic Vermilion is a dashing red for strokes on ribbons, berries and wreaths. Cascade Green is the ideal choice for rich and complex foliage—boughs, trees and leaves have never looked better. Indian Yellow is the shining star of our triad and adds brightness and warmth to your work.
Three Simple Steps for Handmade Cards
Step One: Transfer your design to the watercolor card using Saral Transfer Paper. Place the transfer paper between the card and your sketch and trace over the lines. A clean copy will be made on your card.
Step Two: Use the Seasons Greetings Triad to paint in your image, keeping the colors clean by filling in areas and allowing them to dry without overworking the image. Tips for mixing with the triad colors: Cascade Green with Organic Vermilion makes a necessary neutral, nearly black at full strength. Add Indian Yellow to this dark mixture for a warm brown. Indian Yellow and Organic Vermilion make a rich Orange. Cascade Green can be lightened with Indian Yellow.
Step Three: Personalize your cards with your holiday wishes and send. Make it unique by adding colorful collage papers or calligraphy markers for notes and addresses.
