Flowers and thank you notes go very well together I think. The new Floral Focus stamp set is so pretty and super fun to color.
I stamped the flowers in Distress Ink Antique Linen and colored them with Faber Castell Watercolor Markers. When coloring an image like this with a watercolor medium, it is helpful to paint petal by petal. I made sure, I only painted petals that are next to an already dry one. If the petal next to the one your painting is still wet, it's possible that it reacts to the water and mixes in places you don't want it to.
I added some darker shades with some colored pencils after everything was dry. For me, it's much easier to color in the little spots I want to be darker with colored pencils than with a paint brush. I wanted the sentiment to be soft and not to bold, so I went for a light gray and a simple tank you.
Thanks for stopping by!
Have an awesome day,
