Meet today's card.
It's time for another challenge at the
This month our theme will be Green and Pink.
Like I had mentioned on yesterday's card, I just picked up this great set of flowers from Altenew and wanted to do a loose watercolouring using them again.
I really like the whimsical look of these flowers and they were super simple to paint.
I really like the whimsical look of these flowers and they were super simple to paint.
I began by placing the flowers inside my Misti, inked with Memento black ink and stamped onto watercolour paper. Then using my Zig markers, I watercoloured the flowers with pinks and greens using a wet paintbrush.
When that was dry, I stamped the sentiment using more Memento black ink and my Misti. I scribbled my green Zig onto my acrylic block, sprayed with water and used that to splatter some green onto my background.
To help pull the whole design together, I doodled in a border around the outside edge. I think the border helps with the whimsical look of the flowers.
I am also adding my card to these challenges:
Simon Says- ANYTHING GOES
City Crafter- IN BLOOM
Time Out- INSPIRED BY WORDS

Love the layout and colours. This corner layout/design that works so well. x
Beautiful card! Your zig markers...are they just regular zig markers that spread so nicely on eater color paper? Love being able to use my markers.
Such a stunning card! I LOVE this! Thanks so much for joining us at CCCB!
The tropical look of your card is wonderful and makes me book a vacation! Love how you arranged and colored the flowers, and the hand drawn border finishes it off nicely!
That should be water color paper, certainly not eater color paper!
Beautiful watercolouring! I love that "loose"style! Thank you for joining us at TIME OUT!
