MTCC Watercolor Garden

I really wanted to create one last flowery card in bright colors for this year. I mean it’s fall and getting to the holidays. We’re created a watercolor garden card!

The products used are linked at the bottom of this post.

Come over and join us at Make the Cards Challenge! This week’s challenge is a sketch challenge.

I did this the totally easy way. Really wet! But first, I stamped and heat embossed the image on watercolor paper. Then, I sprayed water on both sides of the paper. It keeps it from curling up so I didn’t have to tape it down. It does take a little longer to dry but it’s worth it.

I’m using the Altenew pan watercolors today with Nuvo brushes. I started with a really wet brush and painted in the leaves with a few different greens. Then, I started on the flowers.

Some colors I mixed and some I just used straight. Have fun with watercolor.

To finish off the watercolor of this card, I filled in all of the background with blue.

Next, I splattered the entire panel with black watercolor and trimmed the panel down with a stitched rectangle frame.

The panel is layered on a scalloped frame and the sentiment is popped up with some foam tape. And to add a touch of shine I added some Glossy Accents drops.
