So my Easter cards this year were an attempt a no line watercoloring. I still have a bit of work to do but they were fun to do!
I think the blue ones turned out best and then the creamy brown ones.
The pink ones seem to look slightly demented!!
Now I just want to cuddle up to the lavender bunnies.
Extreme group shot!!! Had to do it at this angle to get them all in!
Ingredients:
Cardstock - Recollections: Kraft; Artist Loft Watercolor paper;
Stamp - CC Designs: Dragon Doodle Lucky Rabbit; Hero Arts: Celebrate Everyday;
Ink - Memento (I forgot exact colors);
Color - Derwent watercolour pencils
Another one of my attempts to paint along with Lindsay, the Frugalcrafter. Here is the tutorial and inspiration video and/or blog. There is plenty of critical eye issues with this. The blooms aren't quite round enough in the focal orchid. The color mix is a little too garish compared to the original. Yada yada yada...
But you know what, I am happy with it, I painted this with Koi watercolors and Derwent watercolor pencils around midnight in my basement craft area with somewhat crappy lighting even with my task light and the husband's puzzle light. Seriously, I'm lucky this even looks like a flower!!!
Thanks Lindsay for the inspiration to try and try again! I'm thinking this might be my Mother's Day card for my own US based mother.
