Make an easy homemade Mother’s Day card

Brighten Mum’s Day with this easy homemade Mother’s Day card project. In this video, we’ll be showing you how to create a thoughtful, timely card for mum using watercolours. This project is super and simple and best of all, it doesn’t take long to make!

Draw a line in the middle of the page with graphite pencil. Watercolour paper works best for this.

Dip into Yellow Ochre and create a gradient wash filling half of the page.

Allow this to dry and then dip into the Pink colour and begin painting a spiral shape.

Join the shape up and follow this step for the next three roses.

Dip into Vermilion and add four more spiral shapes in between the pink.

Dip back into the Pink and paint another spiral shape to finish.

Grab a graphite pencil and begin drawing two diagonal lines to create the bottom of the bouquet.

Dip into Violet and paint four stripes of colour in sections of the bouquet.

Allow these colours to completely dry and then grab some Leaf Green onto your brush and paint six leaf shapes.

Leave to dry.

Once dry, fold your card in half, now it’s ready to be written in!
