How to Watercolor on Black Cardstock for a Floral Card

August 23, 2025 by Heather Holbrook

How to Watercolor on Black Cardstock for a Floral Card

I love to watercolor with my stamps but it can seem limiting to only working on white paper. Well, not anymore. Did you know there is black watercolor paper as well as watercolor paints that will show up on darker colors!? For this stunning card Kristina used Van Gogh black watercolor paper and Vivid watercolor paints from IUILE which have rich shimmering colors that look amazing on dark paper. Using a stamp from Gina K. she stamped and heat embossed the floral stamp in white and then water colored in the image, adding a sweet gold glitter die cut sentiment.

Visit the K. Werner Design blog to watch her video tutorial.
