Draw the outline of the jar as shown with a pencil.Next trace the outline with a pen. You can feel free to use dip pens or regular micron pens.
To fill color onto the fabric cover of the jar go over with a wet flat brush with lots of color on the topmost section of your object. This is where you want the color to appear the darkest. The idea is to thin out the paint as you go downwards. You can add a little more water with each horizontal stroke as you go downwards until you get the lightest shade. The finished ombre effect will look like this.
Use a new watercolor cardstock paper create the same ombre effect this time with two colors. Start using both the colors from opposite direction and spread it towards each other until you reach the center and can see both the colors blend in at their lightest shades creating a lovely ombre effect.
Use a heart puncher to punch out ombre colored hearts for your jar and paste them using a glue stick on the body of the jar.
Create a realistic touch your card further by adding a baker’s twine around the fabric cover section and tie a tiny knot. Glue it to paper by folding it once as shown.
Cut out a section from red cardstock of dimensions 8X3 cm to write your personalised note using White ink pen with faux calligraphy. Glue the tag onto the jar.
And voila! An easy DIY handmade card is ready that is sure to delight.
