A Bit More Watercolor

I wanted to make a quick card and I found that the stamped-watercolor technique is a good option. Of course I had to throw my need for perfection out the window and just enjoy playing with color and arrangement. I do love the mini size I've been using for this water-coloring, it's so much less intimidating.

I've been taking the Watercolor for Cardmakers class at Online Card Classes (I've taken almost every class and I've never been disappointed). I'm finally getting to do some playing and practicing and I'm pretty happy with the results.






For this card I used the vase from Lawn Fawn's Our Friendship Grows and the flowers are from WPlus9 Fresh Cut Florals. Distress Ink pads provided all the vibrant color. The mini art piece was layered to a kraft square then mounted on a Lawn Fawn Sunflower Notecard.

    These minis are just so sweet. I've not had as much success as you, but seeing yours, maybe I'll try again. A belated Happpy Mother's Day, my friend!
