Watercolor Class Washed Background


I'm taking an online watercolor class and learning so much.


This was an easy (for me) exercise.

A good starting point.

I'll be sharing lots more homework with you.

I'm even going to share my bloopers.

I promise.

I found out that you can emboss on embossing.

You probably already knew that.

My first embossing of the flower didn't show up well.

Fortunately I used my MISTI.

I inked and embossed again,

and again.

Love the way it turned out.

Thanks for popping in.

Enjoy!

    This is a beautiful card! I might have to look into the class your taking as I would love to learn to watercolor. Sympathy cards are great to have and your design is perfect for one ~K

    This looks FAN-tastic! The perfect image to stamp on the lovely soft blue ombre background. Hooray for Misti! That flower just looks as though it's blowing in the wind. Well done, my friend. TFS & Hugs

    Blue is my favorite color so of course I love it. I'd love it no matter what color it was though since it's so pretty. Love!

    Oh my, this is a beautiful watercolor sympathy card Bonnie! In fact I love it so much because it is simplistic but serene, just what a sympathy card should be. I'm glad you are learning a lot from your class and I'm looking forward to seeing some more watercolor creations! Hugs, Brenda

    What a gorgeous background, and really set off by the gorgeous flower - I did not know you could emboss on embossing - thanks so much for the tip.
    Blessings

    I'll bet the embossing on embossing gives a nift texture. This is a very lovely card.

    Beautiful wash, Bonnie. I didn't see any of your cards in the gallery, so I am catching up on your cards. Great job.

    Probably the easiest think to do in the class and I didn't do it. The wash looks great with your double embossed flower.
