How to Create a Watercolor Background with Valerie

Hi Lindy’s lovers! Today, I would like to share a beautiful technique to create this pretty watercolor background using Lindy’s sprays. I used the color combination from the special January color set.

Basic Process

1. Cover page with gesso
2. Add Modeling paste through stencil and let dry
3. Use a brush to add Lindy’s colors over modeling paste (start with lightest color) on all 4 sides of the page
4. Add some drips and drops
5. Emboss chipboard embellishments
6. Add embellishments to page

The embossing powder matches the background so beautifully.

I’ve filmed a short video to show you my process.
