Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing another set from the New Release at:
This is such a pretty image. And I loved the font of the Thank You! I
started my project by printing out my image and sentiment onto hot
press watercolor paper. I made the flower image gray and kept the
sentiment black in the computer.
I did a Google Images search to find a color for my lily.
I found the perfect pink lily! I started my painting with very pale
layers of watercolor. I used a pretty pink by mixing a few shades
together on my palette.
I built up layers to get a bit of shading whilst trying not to disturb
the paint underneath.
I reached a point where I didn't want to move forward with the paint. It
would take too many layers to get the depth I wanted and I just didn't want
to do that on this type of paper. So, I decided to deepen my shading and
pull out details with colored pencils.
This worked even better than I hoped it would. I was able
to build up layers, deepening the shadows gradually and smoothly.
When the coloring was complete I cut my panel to 3 3/4" x 5 1/2"
and adhered it to a top folding A2 size soft green card base.
I thought it needed a little more definition so I added very narrow
black peel-offs to each side where the panel meets the card.
I die cut my sentiment with a small oval die and popped it up
on foam tape. I added 3 clear dew drops and my card was done!
I love this digistamp set. It would work well for so many occasions!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope I've inspired you to
create something beautiful!
