This technique has me sold! I love these gorgeous flowers and have just ordered them so I can watercolor large flowers. Gosh, these just POP they are so beautiful. Wonderful job and the tutorial was great....makes me not feel afraid to see some bleeding going on. I'm such a perfectionist so this will stretch and take me out of my comfort zone which is a thrill to do. Thanks again Beate.
This is so gorgeous, and one of my favorite SU sets/products. I can't wait to give it a try, and pass the technique along to my customers! Thank you for the super tutorial!

I printed up the tutorial and went to Michael's today to get the things I needed to make this project. All the folks that worked at Michael's didn't know and couldn't help me find the Microglaze. What is Microglaze and where do you get it? Darn I just realized I forgot the Sakura Souffle pen....I have plenty of steps to concur before that is needed. Great project and again thanks for sharing. I will post my results (good or bad) when I am done. My watercolor skills leave a lot to be desired.
