Creating βOceansβ Without Watercoloring Using the Seahorse Kisses Collection with Joan Bardee
Hello crafters! Iβm Joan Bardee and today I am sharing 3 ocean-themed cards using the beautiful Seahorse Kisses Collection designed by Dawn Woleslagle. As Iβm sure many of you know, Dawn Woleslagle is an amazing watercolorist. The Seahorse Kisses Collection would be beautiful watercolored.
