I went rogue today. I wasnât particularly inspired by todayâs video and I didnât feel like drawing anything, so I went looking for a mug of hot cocoa that I could stamp or print. I had a pretty cute one, but I got distracted by this fabulous mug of flowers in my STAMPlorations digi collection. Initially, I meant to lightly stamp or print something, so my painting would look more like the one in the video, but I wanted to keep the details of the flower centers and this was the first time that Iâve ever printed out a digi on watercolor paper using my laser printer. I wanted to see how it worked (it worked well). So then I just watercolored the image without really having learned anything from the video. But there was a WCW early on where we combined all the colors that we had used in the painting to paint the shadow, and I used that tecnhnique to do a quick background wash and shadow. Iâm glad that I didnât just skip this challenge because I didnât want to do a hot cocoa card. Iâm happy with my flowery and cheerful card.

So you went rogue, huh? You are so funny. Your painting turned out to be so pretty and I am glad your laser printer worked for your watercolor paper. Your shading behind the flowers is so pretty, too. And, you did do a mug and used a past w/c technique. I do love making winter cards so I stayed with the hot chocolate.
