Hi Bonnie. LOVE your watercoloured leaves. The negative painting makes such a difference and really "lifts" the leaf sprig from the page creating lots of dimension and depth. Your black oval frame and splatters also accentuate the watercolouring and make the colours pop.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to be starting this new adventure with you. We are going to have a lot of FUN! :) xx
Lovely creation! Hope to play along!
ReplyDeleteLooking great Bonnie my friend! Good luck to you both in this new venture of yours! I LOVE the examples and the explanations are a great help too! Can't wait to join in! have a great month! Hazel xx
