These beautiful ‘handdrawn’ flowers were sketchy in the stamp set – so I kept my card in the same vein, and used some new liquid watercolors!
I’ve been doing floral watercolors for quite some time now – there’s a giant playlist you may want to go sit through sometime if you haven’t yet. Tons of techniques! This one creates a very soft look with washy layers, over images stamped in Avery Elle Daisy Pigment Ink.
The finishing touches on the card were to trim the panel to 4″, then pop it onto a card base using dimensional adhesive. I also stamped the sentiment in Avery Elle Mermaid ink and clear-embossed over it.
Here’s the chart I made recently of the colors….go pick some favorites and get busy painting!
