Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing a New Release at:
Fun Flowers Slimline
This is a real beauty! Nice white on black sentiments, various compositions of
the floral design and a no-line version!
I decided to watercolor mine. Let me show you how I did that!
I first made my composition in my computer complete with the sentiment.
Next I printed it out onto 140lb watercolor paper by Fabriano. This comes in a
thick pad and is very economical. My printer is an HP inkjet. But I have found
that I don't have a problem with the ink bleeding either with water or alcohol.
I trimmed the piece to a workable size. I will later trim it down further once the painting
is done. I started watercoloring my piece pretty much one petal at a time. I find this so
relaxing that I don't mind that it takes a while to do.
I used a palette of yellows, golds, reds, oranges and purples. I mixed colors together to
come up with new colors just so no flower would be exactly the same as another.
Once I had finished painting the flowers, I used a thin wash of Lemon Yellow and
painted the background. I let it dry and then adhered it to a slimline card base
made of yellow card stock. I didn't add any embellishments. So, my card was
finished at this point! So easy!
