Valentine's Watercolors

    Remember last week's DIY Chevron Art that I did as a part of Living Savvy's No Spend Challenge? Well I'm back for another round of the challenge! I've started decorating the apartment for Valentine's Day (yes, I do fully decorate for it- if you're new to the blog- read why here), and the first project I did was a completely free one!

     I usually have these state cutouts in frames on our window sills- but figured it was time to temporarily change them out for the holiday.

So I grabbed my watercolors, paper, a pencil and Sharpie and got to work.

I used the now-empty frames as guides to make sure my little paintings would fit:

I started by saturating each one with a lot of paint and water...

....and then blotted most of it off to give a lighter, tie-dye feel.

This one is my favorite- someday we'll need to get out there and properly deface a tree like that...

After deciding I wasn't such a big fan of the "XOXO" and finding yet another light wood frame, I made two more little paintings...

Aaand can you tell I took the last 2 in the bright morning light?

What do you think about FREE watercolor Valentine's art? Which one is your favorite?
