Charming Day Water Colouring

Published on August 30, 2025August 30, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escape—I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

On yesterday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this card using the Charming Day Bundle from the Floral Charm Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! ®.

It’s been a while since I last did any water colouring, and I’d forgotten just how much fun it is! I know a lot of people feel a little hesitant to give it a try, but honestly—it’s all about experimenting and playing. If you’re new to it, I recommend grabbing a simple, inexpensive pad of watercolour paper and just having a go. Test out different techniques, see how the colours move, and find what feels right for you.

In the video below, you’ll see my favourite way to water colour and the effects I love to achieve. I’d love to know if you give it a try—let me know in the comments what technique you enjoyed most!
