Crocus For You



Crocus For You...

   Hello Friends and welcome!  Today’s card features this lovely floral set from Pretty Pink Posh (Crocus Flowers) and watercoloring using Altenew watercolor brush markers (Winter Wonderland).  To start, I stamped images onto a piece of Fabriano hot press extra white watercolor paper then gold heat embossed. I chose not to mask the images as I was stamping, I wanted a softer look to the painting and wanted to see what the end result would be.  Trial and error, but experimentation sometimes pays off as I really liked the look of the coloring in the end, reminds me of stain glass windows.  Once the stamping and heat embossing was finish, I began watercoloring images by first adding the color and a light wash, then going back over intensifying colors and shadows.  I then stamped sentiment and again gold heat embossed.  To finish, I splattered the background using white gouache paint and a perfect pearl solution, then adhered panel to a Lawn Fawn rainforest cardstock card base.  Thanks so much for stopping by...take care!
