Here's what you do:
Choose a sheet of watercolor paper with a phrase. Trim 1" off both the top and bottom, then cut two additional 3/4" strips from the bottom (for the envelope). Use watercolors from the kit to paint the paper as desired. Let dry.
Trim a sheet of decorative watercolor paper to 10" x 11". Cut the scrap paper to create a 4" x 4" square and set aside.
Use watercolors from the kit to paint the paper as desired. Let dry.
Score 1 3/4" down from the top of first sheet of watercolor paper, fold and attach to other sheet with Glue Lines to create a jumbo-sized card.
Adhere Glue Lines to the decorative side of the 4" x 4" square and attach to inside of card, creating blank space for a personal message.
Choose two 12" x 12" sheets of DCWV cardstock. Cut a "V" shape out of one sheet, adhere Glue Lines along the back edges (except the top) and attach to second sheet to create an envelope.
Use Glue Lines to attach the painted strips to the "V" edges and insert card.
