Thank you, Dina, for this week's mixed media challenge to use black to shade. This flower was perfect for this challenge. I first embossed the stamp in black then I watercolored the petals. I finally added a little gel pen because it looked boring and without life.
I enjoyed the process very much. These challenges still intimidate me and I'm trying to push through it.
Thanks for looking. Susie

Your focal image is fabulous! I love the way the gel pen just brings the flower to life and makes it pop!
Really a beautiful card!

Push through, push through! This is lovely, and the white highlights really jump out. You're right - don't overthink the 'mixed media' label - you are very likely doing it already! So glad you're playing along.
