The challenge to-day was to 'colour something'! ..mmmm my favourite thing is watercolour and there you have it! I white embossed the flower on a piece of Arches 140 lb watercolour paper and started to paint with inks that were wiped on a piece of glass. I could have used a dot of the actual re-inker but I find I get a softer look from the swipe technique. I really enjoyed to-days challenge and hope to do a couple more very soon.

I've been trying all different ways to colour (it's my crafting new years resolution) and I think I'm going to land on water colour....it gives the most gorgeous results....esp on wc paper....your flower is absolutely gorgous, Sue...into my faves!!

Framable art (my auto correct keeps wanting to make this farmable, always gives me a giggle, what you would think if I didn't catch the correction...probably that I just couldn't spell!) ANYWAY I LOVE the colors you have chosen and this is certainly a work of art! WHO ever recieves it SHOULD frame it!
