I finally mounted this set and decided to try my hand at watercoloring it. Well, I now see that I need to learn more about shading, etc.! Still, I'm not unhappy with the result.
Stamped the flower on watercolor paper with black Stazon. Watercolored with reinkers and my aqua painter. Sponged Rose Red cardstock with Regal Rose and Rose Red ink and then stamped with Petite Patterns in Regal Rose (it just looked too 'stark' until then!) Cut out the image and popped it up on dimensionals.
Thanks for looking!

Jeez Louise! You cut that thing out?! You have way more patience than I do!
Try mixing your reinker with a little dab of gray (like, grab a little with your aquapainter and mix it into the color you're working with) to do the shading. It will darken the color just enough to help with shading.

Michelle, my dear..... why do you think you need to learn more? There is nothing wrong with any of these that I've seen - you do absolutely beautiful work! Just an extension of your beautiful personality, no doubt!
