Freestyle Watercolor Florals

Hello and Happy Friday!  The weekend has finally arrived and today flew by but I did manage some crafty time this afternoon.  I dusted off the Gansai Tambi Watercolors to loosely paint this gorgeous floral from Altenew.  It's the newest Paint-a-Flower Outline Stamp Set for April Subscribers named Coral Sunset.


I was inspired by the gorgeous projects using this stamp set that I found while scrolling through Pinterest.  I stamped and heat embossed the image on Strathmore 500 Series Ready Cut watercolor paper, then  "freestyle" painted the image with soft lavender and blue tones.  Once dry, I stamped the sentiment in the lower right corner and splattered with black watercolor paint.  The panel is adhered to the card base, no layering used in this design.  

If you've not tried "Freestyle" watercoloring. give it a go...it's so freeing to not worry about how well you watercolor because it will always look pretty!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
