Karen gave us two colors today Blueberry bushel and white. I had fun mixing watercolor with acrylic paint. I started by painting the watercolor paper with blue. Sketched the frame with a chalk pencil and added the woodgrain. Painted the frame with the white acrylic. Next I painted the flowers with white acrylic paint and the one stroke painting technique. Added dots and painted one mor coat of the watercolor inside the frame. TFL

This is definitely a piece of art anyone would be delighted to receive. I've seen you do that one stroke painting technique before and love the way it adds dimension to the flowers. Beautiful card!

Linda, I always look forward to seeing your original creations in the gallery. This card is one of my favorites--I love all the detail that went into the background and the flowers. So beautiful!

Wow, Linda. Such pretty tones, painted frame, and flowers. This is soooooo beautiful. No one does flowers like you do (I want to learn one day). Mixing watercolors and acrylics? I want to definitely try that. Hugz
