WCW262 Birthday greetings
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: Holstein

 Kia has given us an informative video on painting loose blooms. Not sure if I painted them loose enough. I did make a card for a friend. Die cut the front and scored it. I painted the blooms around the rectangular die cut. Adhered it with dimensions. TFL
I have a question for our artists. This artist is looking for a very white watercolor paper. Most of the time I use arches cold press, and it is more of a natural color. Do any of you use a bright white paper? Any tips would be welcome. Thanks

I love how you have used them as a frame . I am not real up to where to buy white watercolor paper. Maybe Blick would have some.

Your card is very pretty, I've added more color too and love that you've used this as a frame
To answer your question, I have some very white water color paper blocks, they are from creative craft, grain fin 300GSM - 21cm x 29.7cm, 3 stars artist quality

Fabulous flowers and splatter, Linda. You did lovely work on this birthday card. Love it.

I can't always tell the difference in whites for some reason and I am starting to have issues with black and dark blue too. Good luck in your quest. Your cards would look fabulous with any color of paper. Hugz

So beautiful...loose sounds easy, I don't think it is. Lovely card for your friend.

Linda,
Beautiful work on those flowers!

I use Canson Water color paper, it is white and reasonably priced.
