WT147 SC78 Delight in Watercolor Flowers

Photo Details

Poster: Jen71

I just can't seem to get enough of Delight in Life. It truly is one of my favorite sets! I stamped the flowers in black stazon on watercolor paper, colored them with SU markers, blended them with a damp paintbrush, then cut out. I popped up one of the flowers to give it some extra dimension. This was my very first time watercoloring, and I love it! The purple panel is stamped in canvas in versamark and clear embossed. It's one of my favorite ways to add subtle texture to paper. I also glued two different types of ribbon together to create a custom look. Thanks for taking a peek!
