Create a stunning watercolour card featuring a large diamond-shaped winter village scene. The design uses a beautiful blue and white colour palette with a soft, atmospheric effect achieved by spraying water over stamped ink to create a dreamy bleed. The finished piece is mounted on white card with an aperture frame to showcase the delicate watercolour technique.
