I belong to the COOLEST swap group on the planet . . . the Control Freaks. I am FOREVER inspired by their genius and creativity. My friend, Patty Bennett (genius extraordinaire!) did this AMAZING tutorial on her blog showing how I watercolored this rose from the Fifth Avenue Floral set:
I combined the technique with today's color challenge (Cameo Coral, Garden Green, Ballet Blue) and VOILA! I need to practice with the watercoloring thing some more, but I LOVE it!!
Thanks for lookin'!
