How Do You Make a Watercolor Background in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 11:25 pm

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to make a watercolor background in Canva using the Watercolor Texture Pack. This pack includes 10 watercolor textures that you can use to create beautiful backgrounds for your designs.

First, head over to Canva and sign up for a free account. Once you’re logged in, click on the “Create a design” button and select the “Custom dimensions” option. In thepop-up window, enter your desired width and height (we recommend using a size of 1000x1000px for best results).

Next, click on the “Uploads” tab in the left-hand sidebar and select the “Upload your own images” option. Here you can upload the watercolor textures from the Watercolor Texture Pack. Once they’re uploaded, drag and drop each texture onto your canvas.

To create a seamless background, select all of the textures on your canvas and click on the “Align” button in the top toolbar. From here, choose the “Align horizontal centers” and “Align vertical centers” options. This will ensure that all of your textures are perfectly aligned.

Now that your textures are in place, it’s time to add some color. To do this, click on the “Edit” button in the top toolbar and select the “Adjustments” option.

In the Adjustments menu, you can experiment with different color filters until you find one that you like. We recommend using either the “Hue/Saturation” or “Colorize” filter for best results.

Once you’re happy with your color scheme, click on the “Download” button in the top toolbar to save your design as a PNG file.
