I resized the image and printed couple of them on letter size white cardstock. I let it sit to dry well for several minites before I colored the flower.
I used the Simply Art watercolor paint from Loew Cornell. It is the same watercolor paint my daughter uses 🙂 Since it is not a watercolor paper, I tried not to used lots of water. I did not wet the image, but wet my brush and pick up the color, then colored it.
