I have another card for the spring flower challenges. Seize the Birthday’s Optional Twist is Spring, and Simon Says Work it Wednesday’s challenge is Spring Flowers.
I’ve had a lot of fun imagining spring while making these cards. Hopefully, spring will soon no longer be a figment of my imagination!
The image is Papertrey Ink’s Bold Blossoms on watercolor paper. They were colored with Altenew’s 36 Pan Watercolors–my favorite for watercoloring flowers. The paints are so vibrant.
The sentiment was stamped and die cut with Papertrey Ink’s “Penned Elegance.”
After the watercolor dried, I added some depth to the flowers with Polychromos colored pencils, and added some white gel pen to the stamens. The final touch was a few black pearls.
Even before I opened the post, I thought to myself, “Karen is really doing her best to will spring in” and then I read your text and had to smile. Lovely card, and I too hope that soon your patience will be rewarded with some real-life spring blooms!
Even if Spring is a little way off outside, it is definitely there at the end of your watercolouring brush – so delicate and yet a strong and vibrant effect. Those little black pearls are a perfect finishing touch.
Very pretty card, a very spring shade of yellow …
I love your bright yellow blooms and the added depth with the pencil shading. Oh, I hope spring arrives for you soon! We’re in a monsoon right now with up to four inches over 2 days into saturated soil so lots of run-off.
