Here's what you do:

Cut your card stock to create a 5" x 7" card base. Choose a design from DCWV's Paint and Create options to use for your card and cut it out to fit the size of your card base.

Use the watercolor paint and paintbrush that is included with the Paint and Create kit and have some fun painting and adding color to your card design. Set aside to dry.

Once dry, use Craft Glue Dots to assemble your watercolor design to the card base.
