I don’t know if you like Google as much as I do. What did we do before it? I wanted to know what color Freesias were when I got this stamp set – and there are SO many! And the red and yellow one was by far the one that caught my eye. So that’s what I used for coloring today’s flowers – and I included a trick I found for those colors that just don’t like to break down with water.
It’s a pretty slick tip that can work with lots of markers!
The colors used on my flowers: Blue 032 for the background, Green 043 and 046 for the leaves, Red 022 and 024 plus Yellows 050 and 052 for the flowers. Clickable links in the supply list below if that helps you!

Such a good tip on the blues and blending. I’ve been very frustrated with my zigs. What paper did you stamp on? It doesn’t say
It was likely on Canson XL. That works best with water based pens.
Loving your watercolor flowers series. TFS
Absolutely GORGEOUS! I love these tutorials because I absolutely love these Zig pens. Thanks for sharing your technique.

Beautiful results, Sandy! I just love freesia – I can almost smell their sweet scent when I look at your card. Delightful!
So beautiful. Love to see you coloring.
This is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for reminding me once again how beautiful the zig pens can be. I feel exactly the same way about google. I’ve lost count on how many problems I’ve found solutions to just by googling it. 🙂
