Another card for my online card intermediate watercoloring class. I like the larger more free flowing cornflowers on this sample than I made on my previous cornflower card. I kept the design CAS to show off the flowers.

Nancy, I'm so impressed with how well you're doing in the class. Your cornflowers are beautiful. Love the layout and the way you edged the cornflower strip with thin bits of green.

Oh, how beautiful, Nancy! I love cornflowers, and I also love this shade of blue! Beautifully done, and I can't wait to clear my schedule to take this class. Hugs, sweet friend!

So pretty, Nancy. I really like these larger, bolder flowers. The card has a very happy feel to it. I also love the tiny trim of matching green cardstock.
I tried my color swatches on the Arches paper---what a difference! I tried mixing up brushes, paint brands/grades and papers. The single thing that made the biggest difference was the quality of the watercolor paper. I can't wait to set aside some time for the class.

A much different look than the first ones. I love both! Isn't it amazing how holding the brush in a different way can make such a big difference! Great job, my friend. I'm glad we took this class together.
