Watercolor Blossoms


This is a preview of the card we will be making this Friday night at our workshop at church. I was playing around with a couple of different designs before I decided on this one. I guess I was still in a brown/blue mood for today! I have decided I really like this combination of colors. The blue cardstock has the slightest tinge of green in it and is so pretty. The stamp is from Rubber Stampede and was stamped with CTMH Chocolate ink onto watercolor paper. I colored in the branch with my watercolor pencils and then went over it with an aqua pen. I mixed two different shades of watercolor paint (the kind from the art section that comes in tubes) and then painted the flowers. All the paper is from DCWV. The brads are from Paper studio. Friday night at our workshop I will be bringing a couple of other options for coloring the flowers in case people don't want to paint the flowers. It wasn't any more time consuming that coloring the flowers with pencils or markers but it did require some extra drying time. TFL!
