Hi there! Thought I’d pop in with a watercolor rose card made for my mom’s birthday. The rose is embossed in white on watercolor paper and painted with everything from my son’s Crayola watercolor set to a very nice set I received from a friend. The roses use a mixture of pink, red, orange and yellow while the leaves are two different greens, brown and even a little black.
Once I’d tweaked the colors to a semblance of how I wanted them, {I find watercoloring a bit of a pain, but worth it in the end!} I embossed a sentiment from the Winnie & Walter set – The Big, the Bold & the Happy. I sincerely adore this set for the fun large sentiments and the plethora of phrases that you can create. The only issue I ran into was when embossing the sentiment over the embossed rose, the two melted together and didn't give the crispness I was after.
These colors fit well with both the Winnie & Walter Playdate 2 challenge as well as the inspiration photo for the Fusion challenge for June. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a wonderful weekend!
