I hope your week is going well! I've been playing with some watercolors again, getting ready for the newest online class, Watercolor for Card Makers. This time I colored onto some chipboard flowers.
I started by adding a thin layer of Gesso onto the flowers, then white embossed the Hero Arts, Old Letter Writing woodblock stamp. I then added the blues and grays with some watercolor paints. Here's a close-up of the flowers.
I love how they turned out! I added white enamel dots to the centers. The die-cut sentiment is this one from Simon Says Stamp, and that adorable embossing folder is called, Cross My Heart, from Cuttlebug.
We've still got really cold and wet weather today - I even saw some snowflakes coming down not too long ago - yuk! But I am very thankful we are not getting the severe weather some folks have in the Southeast. My heart and prayers go out to all those affected - the pictures on the news are so heartbreaking with so many losing their homes - it's devastating!
Thank you for coming by - I so appreciate your visits and comments! ♥
