Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped in!
I'm so enjoying using red and black this month for the
This time I added a drop of Pinkfresh Studio liquid watercolor onto
a small piece of acetate and spritzed with water before
pressing it down onto a piece of watercolor paper.
I used a waterbrush to add a bit more water and move the
color around a bit more.
When it was completely dry, I stamped the flower, mounted it
on a black card base and added the sentiment.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

This is so pretty Bonnie - love the flower and splash of red watercolor behind it - the black frame and sentiment strip really set the panel off! xx
