I also used this week's watercoloring technique - negative watercoloring. Drew my roses and did three layers of washes (four on this one). I did a water color splatter and didn't like it so then I splattered on gold paint and liked it a bit better, but still not happy with it. Love the flowers though.
This is also for MMTPT where we are sending flowers to Marion. She needs some encouragement and paper hugz having been through a very tough health crisis.
Hugz to you all, I will be back to comment in a few hours - have a birthday breakfast to attend (Grandson).
Congrats, Patti!!! Enjoy your week. Thanks for the inspiration.

Lovely, Nancy. You really nailed the technique again, and your hand drawn flowers are gorgeous. Watercoloring is like magic...with every layer of color it starts to come to life. Hugs

This card is fantastic and I'm honored you chose my Ornate Thanks card as inspiration! From the coloring to the gold splash...this card is simply beautiful.
