I made these Artist Trading cards to give to my students at the Watercolor Wonders art retreat in Italy. I almost hated to cut them up because the larger paints were so pretty! Feel free to use this idea for a large painting, greeting card, or other papercraft project. It's so fun, I hope you try it!
