So this was maybe my fourth try. I don't what the deal was....it looked pretty straight forward on Lydia's video. Guess it takes a bit of practice. I like how it turned out but it took some getting here...

Fourth try is a charm Polly! Your flowers are lovely. Great use of textures for your flower centers and the stenciled areas. Haven't tried this yet. Taking a break from housework. After I'm done I can play ;)

Polly, your card has such charm. I like the "immediacy" of your flowers....fresh and clear and not over worked. The textural accents to their centers and the embossing paste additions are both well done and don't detract from your watercoloring.

It came out beautifully, Polly.....lol....have to laugh at your words though!! I thought it looked pretty straight forward too!! I spend half my life trying to decide if I should invest any real time in watercolouring....jury's still out.......TFS!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?

Beautiful, Polly! I give you so much credit for doing this and what an outstanding job you did! I've learned long ago the video always looks easier than it is in real life! Love your flowers and the deckled sentiment you added. The embossing paste was done so subtly, adding interest. Good for you!
