For my project, I decided to use Precious Blooms Stamp Set. I can not recommend this set enough because it has wonderful outline stamp details for coloring.
This stamp set comes with two large blooms side by side. I find it so easy to stamp multiple flowers without much effort.
For my coloring medium, I used Watercolor 24 Pan Set for coloring the floral images. For the background, I used the Metallic Watercolor Set. I used two gold colors in this set.
These colors really pop and have beautiful shine thanks to the rich and creamy pigment.
These colors really pop and have beautiful shine thanks to the rich and creamy pigment.
Since the color combo is so vibrant, I toned it down with a small piece of vellum. The sentiment from Treble Cleft Die Set are just perfect as it has the right message, style and size.
I took my time to color each flower and let it dry in between each small section.
There is no doubt that water-coloring IS therapeutic. All you need to
focus is on the water-coloring. It does take your mind off the stress
and escape the reality for a few minutes. I hope that you are inspired to do some water-coloring after this blog hop!

What a beautiful and colorful floral card! Awesome!!
I LOVE the bright colors! The purple is my favorite!
I'm looking for water coloring tips. You have at least two. I love the metallic background. Leaving sections to dry before coming back to them is the best but hardest tip of all.
Beautiful! I love the gold background- the flowers really pop!

Hello Virginia,
Absolutely gorgeous! For some reason, this card reminds me of Tuscany. Beautifully done :-)
Wonderful, your colors make me happy, but it's your words of wisdom....DRY BETWEEN COLORS that appreciated the most!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
