Usually, all the birth announcements that I do involve photos, so it was a nice surprise to have this project come my way. Taylor ordered my letterpress moving announcements as birth announcements, which was a fun idea on it's own, but then planned to have her daughter do a little watercolor art before mailing them to friends and family.
I loved this idea so much that I thought it would be fun to share a few ways you could personalize your own announcements or stationery with watercolor. I bet Maple's big sis did a better job, but it was my first time painting with watercolors, so I just played around with light pinks and peaches and this is what I ended up with!
We all know that I am a sucker for stripes… Big ones...
and small ones...
Ombre dipped.
or you could play with shapes...
Or just make a beautiful mess...
You can't really mess them up - my scrap paper was even pretty - and it's fun to have add a personal touch and make the truly one-of-a-kind!
