Couldn't resist playing in the Tea Party this week. I have no gladiolus stamps, but I did find this super cool video on how to paint loose ones. The artist disabled link copying for some reason but you can find it on YouTube by searching: Tips on how to keep things loose with watercolors - loose impressionistic flowers (I found it by searching how to watercolor gladioulus).
Mine doesn't even look close to hers, but I still like it. I am going to keep trying because I totally love the look.
This will be going off to tickle one of the gang.
Stay strong especially if you are in the path of these storms, fires, violence, and everything else coming at us.

I'm with Jean, your card would be the perfect tickle this month! Your watercolor gladiolus are absolutely gorgeous, Nancy. I'll have to try to find that video. Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us!

I'll add my praise and tell you I saved to my favorites. I'm in love with the colors and how 'loose and flowy' it is. I secretly wish to be able to paint like this. It's my favorite look!
