todays site for our inspiration was colour watercolour etsy store with artwork by Joanna Szmerdt... I chose her cherry blossom tree to watercolour....I used a paint brush with watercolour paints on watercolour paper...this is the very first time I have ever did a watercolouring without stamping images first, so dont look too closely....
Thanks for taking a peek... Hope you like it...

What a lovely water coloured tree! I can see the shading in the trunk and the blossoms giving it dimension. You've framed your art beautifully too. Great take on the challenge and a lovely card all round!

As soon as you said don't look too closely.....I took it as a dare...lol....and zoomed into 300!! You did a beautiful job Marie-alice....I can't wait until the day I have the nerve to try watercolouring without starting with a stamped image. I love your beautiful framing too.....and the distressed stripes ef looks just like bark. Your card is fabulous!!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
life is something that happens only when you run out of cardstock

Sheer perfection, Marie-alice. So beautifully clean, and that textured bg is lovely! I tried to watercolour a cherry blossom tree a few months ago, and let me tell you, it didn't look anything as pretty as this! Wonderful!
