Hi here is 1 of 4 watercolour cards I made recently, this one was for a friends B'day recently, I can finally share this one with you all. For full details please visit: http://www.craftytreasures.com.au/?p=9972
This first one, I lightly hand sketched a Free Dover Publications image. What caught my eye with this one was both the vase and the beautiful floral display. I mixed some primary colours on a pallet and painted my lightly sketched image. I found while working with this 280 gsm watercolour paper it did buckle & warp slightly, but fixed this by turning the image side facing down and ironing it (with a dry iron, set with steam off) after a light fine mist with water. I layered this finished watercolour onto mixed designer papers and also dry embossed the panel behind the DP with a Portacraft embossing folder.
