AECP - Creative Watercolor Media

Watercoloring can be very relaxing for me because I enjoy how loose and forgiving it is.  My favorite images are florals and today I selected this great one from Altenew.

SketchyFloral

The floral image more than covers an A2 card, so you will see I trimmed it down, covering the card front.

The image was stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder onto Arches Cold Press 140lb watercolor paper.

I used my mini ink cubes to watercolor and started by smooshing the pad onto a white tile.  This is an easy surface to work with and clean-up is a breeze.

I selected Fresh Lemon, Mango Smoothy, Peach Perfect, Cotton Candy, Coral Berry for the flowers leaving Parrot and Dark Chocolate for the stems and leaves.

Using a paint brush and water, I freely colored the image adding different layers of color after drying the first layer.  

After the image was good and dry I did a very wet, loose water color background using Dew Drops.  This made the image pop and really finished things off.

I selected the Halftone Everything Stamp and Die for the sentiment

A little glitter paper for the sentiment and accent along with Clear Wink of Stella. 

Thanks for visiting today
