A great technique to use watercolor, is using stencils or even objects as stencils. Take a simple leaf and place it on the paper. Then grab a spunge a water down the colors on a tray. One color at a time. Soak up the spunge and press it around the edges of the leaf.
It's fun. The watercolor shouldn't be too soggy. Just enough to leave the impression on it and as you're wartecoloring, you can also use different tones to color the inside. It's a rather childish effect but used with care and in the right place you can have a fabulous result.
If you're just interested in doing something simple, than a greeting card might be a good idea. Enjoy
