Materials

  • 1 sheet watercolor paper (5x7 in.)
  • Dual-tip brush pens in pink, blush, red (3–4 colors)
  • Black fine-liner pen (0.3–0.5 mm)
  • Double-sided tape or craft glue
  • Optional: light pink decorative paper (background layer)
  • 1 kraft cardstock card base (5x7 in.)

Instructions

  • Cut your watercolor paper to fit the front of your card base, leaving a slim border of kraft paper showing around the edges.
  • Use the fine-liner to draw scattered heart doodles across the front. Keep some large, some tiny, variety adds charm.
  • Add color by filling each heart with different pink shades. Brush pens give a soft, watercolor-like effect without much effort.
  • Let the ink dry fully so the outlines stay crisp and don’t smudge.
  • Write “I” at the top and “You” at the bottom, keeping the lettering simple so the hearts stay the focus.
