I began my card by using Painter's tape to mask the edges of my watercolour paper. I stamped the marigold flower in the bottom left hand corner using my Misti, masked it and stamped it again on either side of the first flower. I love the look achieved by using a masking technique.
I coloured in the flowers using my Zig markers adding colour only to the inside edges of the flowers then using a wet paintbrush, pulled the colour to the outside edges to give a watercoloured look to my flowers.
I stamped the sentiment using my Misti again, removed the painter's tape and doodled in the border.
I always forget how fun it is to doodle on my cards.
