My most popular Video of 2023!

 If you haven’t seen this video yet it’s a must ! Anyone can do this… you don’t need fancy materials either. Just some plastic wrap, Canson XL (or  any Watercolor paper) , and your favourite watercolor paints. I’ve added some diecuts to the front, and my top tip is to use the same watercolour paper for the die cuts for a perfect colour match. 

Enjoy! Vicki ❤️🫶🏻
