Watercolor Garden

Hello crafty friends.

I'm back with a piece from the retreat that's finally been  put on a card.

Darnell showed us how to use a damp brush and watercolor pencils
to get fantastic control.  This technique is especially good on small,
detailed images like this one.

To do this technique, you draw the damp brush across the tip of
the watercolor pencil and paint the color onto the image.
I used my favorite Caran d'ache watercolour pencils.

It gives a light color and you just build up the color by repeating
the technique until you have the desired intensity.

We used stamped and heat embossed images.
I love how the embossing makes this shine.
It also helps to stay in the lines :-)

I think these pastel colors will work beautifully for
The Flower Challenge

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
