Pre-colored cards are hand-colored with high-quality colored pencils to give each piece a soft, textured look and rich, layered hues. The pencil strokes add subtle depth and a handcrafted feel that makes every card slightly unique.
Each card and cutout comes stamped on quality cardstock — ready to decorate or gift right away. Standard cards include water-proof stamped designs so ink and light washes won’t feather, keeping lines crisp and artwork tidy.
If you choose a DIY kit or a Color-It-Yourself version, you can request thick watercolor paper with water-proof stamped designs. This option is ideal for watercolor, gouache, and wet techniques that need heavy paper to prevent buckling, letting your creativity bloom without worrying about bleed-through.
Note: while stamped designs are water-proof, they may not be suitable for all mediums. Alcohol-based inks and markers can interact with the stamping or paper surface differently and may cause unexpected results. For best results, choose the paper type that matches your chosen medium: cardstock for dry media and light washes, thick watercolor paper for wet paints. Please note: the watercolor paper may not match the exact shade of white as the cardstock. Slight variations in tone are natural due to different paper fibers and manufacturing processes. These subtle differences can add charm and texture to your finished piece, but if you need a perfect color match, please get in touch before ordering and we’ll find the best option for your project.
