Becky gives us some of the loveliest color combinations. Here's today's palette:
Blushing Bride
Rich Razzleberry
Mossy Meadow
When I watercolor, I leave my cards pretty plain...so I skipped dessert.
Using SU reinkers and an aqua brush, I watercolored the image panel. The brown that you see in the flower's center was made by mixing the Razzleberry and the Mossy. It gives a wonderful shade of dark brown that has much more "life" than if I had used a brown reinker.

Mixing your own brown with the mossy meadow in it makes it co-ordinate so well with the other colours. Love the way you left parts of the petals white - it gives it so much life.
