Onto my card and it could only be the gorgeous Echinacea, I love the varying colours and the way they stand proud in the garden during Summer - well, lets say during the months its supposed to be Summer!
I decided to do a no-line watercolouring image this time and after a little practise piece first I'm quite pleased with the results. I used Gansai Tambi in various reds, pinks and oranges for the petals, I must admit I like having an artist license and not being so restricted to staying in the lines.
I cut the 'hello' from an unbranded die and added a few pearls in varying sizes to match the colours of the flower.

ReplyDeleteReally pretty - the no-line technique is very effective.
ReplyDeleteSuper amount of white space on your card Claire and that Echinacea looks incredible! Fantastic water colouring because you've made it look like it has a wonderfully soft and velvety texture. Great use of the hot and spicy colours. Thanks so much for popping this into us at Less is More xx
