My project uses the Crocus Flowers and Courage sentiment – in loose loose watercolor! If you’ve struggled with loose painting, I’ve got some encouragement in the video that might shake you from being so tight!
Paint a loose background – then if you paint out of the lines it really won’t matter at all. It’ll just be some extra pretty splatter!
If you need something different to shake you up creatively, try a different format for a card – long skinny, 5×7, something other than your usual!

I do love your dreamy florals. It’s so much fun to see you work with specific colors and see what they can and can’t do. It’s so helpful to me as a consumer, and I just enjoy watching it. Thanks for sharing with us!

First off, thanks for the Public Service Announcement–good to know when I return to society from the desert and should look out for stuff like this. Second, and most important, this card is lovely! I love your soft hues on these crocuses and how wonderful it came out! I really like the black accent and think it really contributed to the beauty of the card. Marvelous!!!
What a great technique! I’m going to try this loose painting style and see if helps! I just love your soft colors (background) and this long card design…it showcases this stamp set perfectly! PPP really hit it out of the park with this new release and you’ve helped us to see all the amazing possibilities with all their cool new products!

The crocus set is my favorite from this release and you have created such a soft, beautiful card with them. Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us.
Beautiful! I love the soft watercolor and the unique layout. The crocus flower is my favorite from this wonderful release.
Beautiful Sandy! I loved watching you watercolor the pretty crocus flowers in your You-Tube video, great job! You’re teaching me to color outside the lines which is something I really struggle with. I’m inspired to give this a try. The nice sentiment in this stamp set is so encouraging and the flowers are just lovely!
I like how you have a natural grouping of crocuses like in nature. NICE
Love this technique, thanks for the video. The card is wonderful and I love its non conventional size.
Absolutely beautiful!
Your card is beautiful as is your watercoloring. I love using different sizes besides A2 cards and always love seeing how others do this as well. Thanks for sharing your card and tips and for the inspiration!
Happy 5th Birthday Pretty Pink Posh and Happy 5.5 to you Sandy 🙂
