Watercolor Split
Paint
Easy
Add a little water to the dried watercolor paints until they become usable again. Paint an abstract design across the watercolor ATC, keeping in mind that you'll eventually cut it in half. Try creating something that still looks connected after it's split into two pieces. Once your painting is completely dry, carefully cut it down the middle and glue each half onto one of the black ATC blanks to create a matching pair of framed miniature artworks.
Once you feel the card is complete, sign and date the back.
(Optional: Glue an ATC backing to the back and fill it out.)

Reflection Questions
How did creating one image that becomes two pieces change the way you planned your design?
