Eric Carle Inspired Watercolor

Photo Details

Poster: kandicejo

Sample card for my VSN hostess challenge to incorporate watercoloring on a card - inspired by Eric Carle illustrations.

I used markers and reinkers to watercolor color families on watercolor paper, then stamped the petals and leaves and cut them out.
