Audrie wants us to play with color today.....we all like color. The color board is amazing with many color combos. This would be the one that inspired me. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/184718022194829299/
We all learn from mistakes. Right? My new adventure of calligraphy has taught me to stay away from water with the ink used. It is not waterproof. Now, using a die cut out the portion that would be written on until the painting is done. Water colored the flowers and leaves using a round brush...added centers with a fine black micron pen. Wrote the sentiment. Added this panel with dimensionals.
We have frost warnings out for this evening. Yuck! TFL

You make cards that no one can recreate because of your amazing watercoloring ability and your cali graph talrnt. This is lovely...very soft and elegant. I think you shold surround yourself with the gorgeous watercolored flowers that you have made, turn the heat up, wear shorts and ignore that freeze warning. Favrd

(Frost warnings in May?!) I LOVE LOVE LOVE this card! Beautiful colors, and wonderful modern calligraphy! (Sorry I could have warned you about calligraphy on wet paper.) Also another tip, always test the "ink" you are using on the paper you plan to write on - even if you've used the nib before on it, certain inks are not friendly with watercolor or cardstock papers. Your card and gorgeous envelope, goes directly into my favs!

Love your watercoloring on this Linda!! What a beautiful card!! And we had frost warnings last night but here in the "big city" we didn't get any..other outlying areas did. I might have to cover my flower pots again tonight...
