Welcome the watercolour dream team

The popularity of watercolour painting and cardmaking continues to grow, despite being a more difficult skill to pick up. After learning about the common issues that make it difficult to master watercolour making, we created a must-have dream team to make with watercolours using your Cricut machine — Cricut Watercolour Cards and the accompanying Cricut Watercolour Marker & Brush Set .

What’s included with Cricut Watercolour Cards and Cricut Watercolour Marker & Brush Set? You’ll find the essentials to easily bring your masterpiece to life. They include:

·        3 different card packs designed to withstand the conditions of creating with watercolours

·        Machine-compatible Cricut Watercolour Markers, to use with our library of ready-to-use images

·        A freehand Water Brush for even more versatility in creating watercolour effects
