Since this will go to my 19 y.o. granddaughter, I thought a balloon bouquet would be fun for her.
I lightly sketched where I wanted my heart shaped balloons to go and painted with various intensities of a single color. The hardest part of this was removing a smudge after I had laid my hand in a wet heart!!! When they call this color PERMANENT Rose they do mean permanent - lol I finished with spatters of solar gold for a kind of confetti feel, added the PB sentiment and framed with some rose colored cardstock.

Oh, so pretty, Linda. This is the second one I did but didn't post it. I really did like this one, though, and did mine in a turquoise color.

This was the other one I wanted to try...I may yet. You did an amazing job on this and it will be perfect for your DGD. Love the added gold splatters. I hear ya on the oops you were able to correct...I have that fear of doing something to wreck my painting especially when I'm almost done.

Your hearts are terrific with the white space and the rose color! The added gold adds a festive touch. Love it. I did this version in purple, and used it for a birthday. card. Thanks for joining us and giving us this neat version.

What a lovely bright color you used, and your heart balloons are simply wonderful! So beautifully rendered! Love the splash of gold. This is absolutely gorgeous!

You are just merrily humming along with these WCW challenges lately....this is beautiful, such lovely shading and variation of color. I have no idea what it means to call a watercolor 'permanent' or 'quinacradone' or whatever.

Beautiful, Linda! You did a fabulous job on those heart balloons (it is better than the sample) and I love your sentiment. Fab card/paiinting. Hugz
