I watched a video on watercoloring by Jill Foster using Faber Castell Aquarelle pencils and she made it look so easy that I thought for sure I could achieve results that looked like hers--but alas, I still need a lot of practice (this card was my third attempt)! I created this card for the Impression Obsessions "What's Your Hobby" challenge”. My husband's hobby is gardening and growing gorgeous flowers -- my hobby is taking pictures of them and trying to recreate their beauty using my stamps and watercolors or Copics.
